Great Lakes - Arrest warrant issued for Hit-and-Run

Yesterday morning, an arrest warrant was issued for Kimberly Cooley Dancy, a 44-year old Royal Oak resident who is charged with the fatal hit-and-run crash that killed cyclist Jacqueline Marie Robinson.

The charges? According to the Daily Tribune, “Leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both; leaving the scene of a serious injury accident, a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $5,000 fine or both; and malicious destruction of property over $1,000, a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both.”

I've posted more about this story on my m-bike blog (http://www.m-bike.org/blog/2008/11/27/arrest-warrant-issued-for-woodward-hit-and-run). It's pretty despicable.

Thanks to the Royal Oak Police for their investigative efforts on this tragic case.

Grrrrrr!!!!!!!

The white jeep.

I hope they get her soon, that's shameful, leaving someone in the street like that.

I can not understand why our society does not DEMAND that a person, this despicable, be hanged.

Just my humble opinion.

Does anyone know anything about Jacqueline Marie Robinson? Has the cycling community done anything for her family?

Donations can be made in the name of Robinson’s mother, Judith Parent, who is caring for the boys. The address is Bank of America, 28746 Woodward, Royal Oak 48067.

The Free Press ran many articles on this tragic accident, but this one had the most information on the victim:

Here's the Freep story from today's paper:

I blogged often about the ghost bike (http://www.m-bike.org/blog/tags/ghost-bike), too.

I demand that the suspect be brought up on charges, and after that is done, she has to have court mandated cycling on the streets, say 500 miles, just so she can see what its like to and gain appreciation for cyclist.
