Arraignment made in Ghost Bike Crash
The Free Press is reporting the arraignment in the ghost bike hit-and-run crash from back in September:
Kimberly Dancy, 44, was arraigned Monday for leaving an at-fault accident that caused death — a 15-year felony. She also faces a charge of malicious property destruction, a two-year-felony, stemming from a collision in a drugstore parking lot that police say Dancy caused a few hours after striking the cyclist on Sept. 19 at 1:30 a.m.
But Dancy’s defense attorney said hers is a case of mistaken identity, and that she is a victim of “circumstance and coincidence.”
According to another report from ClickOnDetroit:
Prosecutors also cited Darcy’s stained driving record. Darcy was cited in 2002 for driving on a suspended or revoked license and her license was taken away in 2005 for drunken driving. It was reinstated in 2006.
Judge Terrence Brennan said there was no indication Darcy was driving drunk on the night of the fatal hit-and-run, but he has ordered her to stay away from alcohol and she must not leave the state.
Bond was set at $20,000 or 10 percent. Darcy posted $2,000 bond and was released.
ClickonDetroit also posted on-line video coverage.
The arraignment was also covered by C&G Newspapers and the Detroit News.

GUH, she deserves worse, she tried to cover it up, knowing that she had killed someone…no remorse there apparently, add to that the fact that she was likely drunk at the time(not that fargone a conclusion given her past).
but yeah, she left the scene, was never tested, no proof…
grrrrrrrrrrr lady, back to jail with you!
not to be all negative but, i wouldn’t be too surprised if she’s driving a car right now, which upsets me to no end.
