PEORIA, Ill. – A Peoria woman admits to striking and killing a young boy who was riding a bike late last year — minutes Monday before her jury trial in the case was to start.
Peoria County Court records indicate Karrie Brunswig, 44, pleaded guilty Monday, just days after her birthday, to counts of Possession of Methamphetamine, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Aggravated Driving Under the Influence, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Brunswig was initially arrested in November of last year, and allegedly had cocaine in her system when she was driving on Northeast Glen Oak Avenue and struck Troy Erving, 10.
She will be sentenced September 29th and could face decades in prison
