Dewitt is accused of striking Cynthia Stockwell with his vehicle Jan. 10 on North Street. According to the Auburn Police Department, he was driving southbound at a high rate of speed when he crossed into the opposite lane and failed to stop at a signal. Stockwell was taken to Auburn Community Hospital after being struck, and passed away later that day.
Dewitt was initially charged with the Class D felonies of second-degree vehicular manslaughter and operating a motor vehicle while ability impaired by drugs, plus several traffic infractions.
The Class B felony of aggravated vehicular homicide was added after a toxicology report for Dewitt was completed.聽
His previous attorney, Joe Sapio, told 人兽性交 in March he wanted to review all the body camera footage of officers who responded to the accident before making a decision about the plea offer.聽
A car-pedestrian accident took place at the intersection of North Street and Lansing Street in Auburn on Jan. 10.
