Four years probation: Alcala learns fate for fatal hit-and-run
Carolyn Alcala
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Carolyn Alcala, a Milwaukee woman who pleaded guilty in a fatal hit-and-run case, was sentenced on Friday, May 30th to three years in prison plus another five years of extended supervision. However, that sentence was STAYED -- and the court placed Alcala on probation for four years.
Alcala says she was driving the SUV that hit and killed Anthony Judd while he was crossing the street near 9th and Greenfield. Alcala turned herself in about 45 minutes after the incident.
A criminal complaint in the case says Alcala appeared to be under the influence of intoxicants when she turned herself in.
The complaint says Alcala told officials she had been drinking at a bar on 7th and Orchard, and had consumed about four drinks before driving herself home.
The complaint says while driving near 9th and Greenfield, Alcala heard a bump to her vehicle and then stopped her vehicle, made a U-turn and saw a shoe in the road. She then panicked and drove home without stopping — according to the complaint.
When she got home, the complaint says Alcala told her daughter she believed she had hit someone, and her daughter advised her to turn herself in.
