On Feb. 4 at about 2:30 a.m., Michelle Knapp, of Cincinnati, was allegedly drunk at the wheel of her Jeep Liberty on Interstate 74 in Hamilton County's Green Township. She smashed into the rear of a Chevrolet Cavalier driven by Mary Krause, who had just picked up her son Wesley Krause and his girlfriend, Nicole Riddle.

 

Mary Krause, 60, of Harrison and Riddle, 27, of West Harrison were both killed. Wesley Krause suffered minor injuries.

 

Police said Knapp's BAC was .136 following the crash, well above Ohio's legal driving limit of .08.

 

Knapp, 24, entered the guilty plea in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Wednesday for two counts of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide. She now faces between two and 16 years in prison. Sentencing will take place July 30.
