A 19-year-old Roane County driver will spend two years
in jail after pleading guilty to negligent homicide,
following a fatality on Clover Ridge, State Route 36 on
March 30.
Joseph Foraker of Reedy also pled guilty to DUI with
death, DUI with injury, driving while license was revoked
DUI-2nd and driving left of center.
A 3rd offense DUI, which was a felony charge, was
dismissed because a State Police officer did not appear,
being on flood duty in southern West Virginia, according
to the Times Record/Roane County Reporter.
Foraker, who had two previous DUI convictions in Ohio,
had 40-year-old Mona Walker of Newton as a passenger,
when she was killed.
Three fatalities occurred in Roane and Calhoun within
two weeks in March.
Calhoun State Police have yet to file charges against a
Braxton County driver in the Pauline Osterholdt fatality
on March 17, according to court records.
