Bond Set in Manslaughter Case
05/04/2016

(MSC News)--Bond has been set for a St. Joseph woman charged in connection with the death of a pedestrian last month on I-229.

24-year-old Jacey Grom is charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter in the death of Corbin Watts.

Prosecutors say Grom was allegedly driving under the influence and at a high rate of speed when her car struck Watts on April 10th as he walked along the I-229.

Grom had been denied bond after a judge ruled she was a danger to the community.

However, the St. Joseph News Press reports a judge during a hearing Tuesday in a Buchanan County courtroom agreed to set bond at $25,000 with several conditions.

Among the conditions, Grom can’t drive,  consume alcohol or controlled substances, visit establishments where alcohol is served, must submit to drug testing, be subject to a daily curfew and must surrender her passport.
