Wis. Man Pleads No Contest to Hitting Pedestrian, Driving Home With Victim Lodged in Windshield

Wednesday, December 05, 2007

GREEN BAY, Wis. — A motorist accused of hitting two pedestrians and driving home with one of them lodged in his windshield pleaded no contest Wednesday to four felonies, including homicide.

Authorities said Steven Warrichaiet hit the pedestrians after he left a friend's house late July 8. He continued to drive nearly a mile to his home with the body of Tyrone Ware, 50, in his windshield, officials said. Joann Carroll-Hildahl, 42, was found in the street with serious injuries but survived.

Warrichaiet called police about six hours later to report he had been in an accident and thought he hit someone, authorities said. Ware was pronounced dead after officers arrived.

Officials have said Warrichaiet's blood alcohol level was 0.18 percent about six hours after the crash, or more than twice the legal limit for driving. He had been drinking heavily at a friend's home before trying to drive home.

Warrichaiet's attorney, Jeff Cano, did not return a message seeking comment Wednesday evening.

Warrichaiet, 40, faces 47 years in prison plus 30 years of supervised release when he is sentenced in February.

He pleaded no contest to charges of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle, hit and run resulting in death, injury by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle, and hit and run causing great bodily harm.

I recall a similar case a few years ago. In that case, the young lady went home, parked her car in her garage, and the person that she hit actually lived for a few hours. Unfortunately, I can't remember what her sentence was, but CTV carried the trial.

I was thinking that case was in Texas for some reason. She called her boyfriend/ex-boyfriend to come over and help her and they ended up taking the poor guy right past a Firehouse where her brother(?) worked as a paramedic and dumping him in a park. Tried to make it look like a hit and run.

IIRC she was some kind of a nurse too.


I found it. She got 50 years!

Yep, it was Texas.

"Chante Jawan Mallard was driving home from a dance club in Arlington, Texas, in the early hours of Oct. 26, 2001, when she struck 37-year-old Gregory Biggs. The homeless man's upper torso smashed through her windshield."

"She is state-certified as a nurse's aide..."

"...she periodically checked on Biggs, who remained stuck in the windshield, alive and moaning in pain. Mallard said she apologized to Biggs during the visits, but never made an effort to extract him. Nor did she contact police or summon medical help."

People act really weird in an accident. I went from 70 to 0 too fast one night because the illegal alien that was working on the road crew was smoking dope and didn't hear the radio tell him that the roads were open. I slammed into the rear of a truck with no lights on, no cones out, and no reflector tape. I rammed my femur through my pelvis and out my back, shattered both wrists and separated both shoulders. When I realized what happened, my first thought was being sick because nobody was there. I thought I had either injured or killed whoever was in the truck and I wondered how I could live with myself.

I started yelling for help and the guy poked his head around the corner of the truck. I can never forget the dispassionate look he gave me, like he wanted to scrape me off his shoe. I asked for help but he shook his head and said, "no english" When I asked for help in spanish, he got in his truck and tried to drive away. He drug my car for 20 yards then, when it caught on fire, he abandoned his truck and ran away.

I would have burned to death had it not been for a passing motorist who saw the flames and got a fire extinguisher from the truck to put them out.
