A 40-year-old Green Bay man who allegedly hit two pedestrians with his car, leaving a woman critically injured and a man dead, has been charged with four felonies.

Steven Warrichaiet, who drove nearly a mile home with the man lodged in his car's windshield, was charged in Brown County Intake Court with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, hit and run resulting in death, injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle and hit and run causing great bodily harm, charges that carry a penalty of 77½ years in prison.

Warrichaiet said he remembered hitting a person and Ware's body coming through his windshield, the complaint said. He parked the car in his garage, called his sister and left a message that he killed someone and fell asleep on the couch, leaving Ware's body lodged in the windshield with Ware's face resting on the passenger-side seat, the complaint said.

I doubt he fell asleep. He passed out. Of course, that doesn't explain why his sister didn't tell someone about the message (assuming she received it before he called the cops himself) or even why he called his sister rather than the cops.

The story that ran in our paper said he left a lot of incoherencies on the same message and the sister didn't believe any of it. Sadly, that included the part about the body.

I'm quite impressed that he apologized.

Wasn't there a CSI episode where something like this happened?

[chocolate kisses]

I think the CSI episode was based on a real case. It was a woman driver, I believe. It's been a while so I don't remember all the details. I just remember thinking as I watched the CSI episode, that they didn't waste time snapping that story up for the show. I'm off to search for more information and f I find any, I will post it here.

ETA: Here is the previous story.
