(KLZA)-- A woman charged with a felony count of motor vehicle homicide in Johnson County has asked the judge to reduce her $250 thousand bail.
According to the Omaha World Herald, 36-year-old Chelsy Kress of Tecumseh is charged with causing the death of 22-year-old Logan Ascheman of Tecumseh on March 1 and with failure to stop and render aid as well as being in possession of a controlled substance, both of which are felony charges.
Kress is required to pay 10 percent of the bail amount, $25 thousand to be released from jail. So far the judge has not ruled on her request.
About 2:30 a.m. on March 17, Johnson County deputies responded to a call from Kress, when she told them she believed she hit someone with her vehicle.
A deputy discovered Asheman, who was deceased in the area of First Street and the railroad tracks in Tecumseh. The deputy proceeded to Kress' home and found damage to her vehicle.
A surveillance video allegedly shows Kress traveling northbound on First Street about 10 p.m. on March 16. Authorities claim Kress struck Asheman with her vehicle and left the area without stopping to render aid.
Kress then returned home, but did not contact law enforcement for four and a half hours after the incident.
