OSHTEMO (WKZO-AM) — A woman charged with the hit-and-run drunk driving death of a jogger in Oshtemo Township in May has waived her preliminary exam and will proceed to trial.
Investigators claim they have witnesses who say 22-year-old Morgan Rowley was driving erratically just before she struck Nicholas Heil, then kept traveling after the collision.
They have a blood-alcohol test that shows she was more than two times over the legal limit when she struck the Western Michigan University engineering student along KL Avenue.
Rowley is charged with driving drunk causing death and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. If convicted, she could get up to 15 years.
It’s her second drunk driving offense.
