PORTAGE (WKZO-AM) — A Kalamazoo teenager charged with killing a Paw Paw woman when his speeding car slammed into her vehicle while he was fleeing police has cut a deal with prosecutors.
David Mills was 17 years old and had no license when he decided to take a car that had no plates out for a drive in January, prosecutors said.
At first, he eluded Kalamazoo Public Safety when they tried to pull him over. Then he was spotted by Portage Police who initiated a second chase. Mills was racing south on Oakland Drive when 33-year-old Crystal Norton pulled out of a parking lot, into the path of Mills, and was killed in the collision that followed.
Norton was the mother of two young girls.
Mills has agreed to plead guilty to fleeing and eluding causing death, driving on a suspended license causing death and drunken driving causing death.
The maximum for all three is 15 years in prison.
