He was arraigned Friday in Kent County Superior Court and released on $50,000 personal recognizance bail.

Can I have an explanation of how a 17 year old, driving 85 MPH on Route 2, with alcohol in his car, hits and kills a woman, and is not given a breathalyzer test?! Have to wonder who he knows to get away with that. My condolences to the family of the INNOCENT victim of this teenager.
