A woman from Tokio went to federal court for the first time after being charged with multiple crimes, such as Involuntary Manslaughter and Child Neglect.
The U.S. Department of Justice says that on August 17, 2024, police were called to a home in Fort Totten where an adult man had been declared dead. An investigation showed that he had been hit and killed by a car driven by a 30-year-old woman from Tokio.
Based on the charges, the woman was allegedly drunk at the time and also had a controlled substance and drug tools on her. She was also driving carelessly, not respecting other people’s rights or safety, and there were three young children in the car with her at the time.
The person being sought is charged with one count of Involuntary Manslaughter and three counts of Child Neglect. The FBI is looking into the case right now, with help from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
An charge does not prove guilt. The person being tried is thought to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
