There is resolution in connection to a case involving a woman charged in the fatal collision in Cochin Nov. 1, 2014.
Two people were killed in that incident in which a sedan rolled into Lehman Creek. The woman charged in the incident, Charnelle Swiftwolfe, entered a plea of guilty to impaired operation of a motor vehicle, while at the same time entering a plea of not guilty to impaired driving causing death in the same case.
Swiftwolfe was in court Thursday morning before Judge Lorna Dyck. In addition, she entered guilty pleas to breach charges as well as to operating an unregistered vehicle and driving without a license. She was levied fines of $630 in relation to the latter two charges.
As for the most serious charges, sentencing has been set for July 8. A pre-sentence report has been ordered in the meantime.
Lawyers in court Thursday indicated a further breach charge is also coming in connection to Swiftwolfes’s previous court date last week, which Swiftwolfe failed to show up for.
The explanation provided was that she was ill. Still, Judge Dyck indicated her displeasure and added counsel was not happy either.
