The woman who allegedly plowed her vehicle into a crowd on the Las Vegas
Strip last month, killing one person and injuring dozens more, has been
hit with a total of 71 charges, prosecutors said
Wednesday, adding up
to more than a millennium worth of jail time
Lakeisha Holloway, 24, now faces additional charges after the fatal
crash in Nevada on Dec. 20, 2015, according to the Clark County District
Attorney. The new charges now reflect her “intentional injury” of 35
people, including nearly a dozen who suffered “substantial bodily harm,”
Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo said in a statement, and
she could be sentenced to over 1,000 years in prison if convicted.
“These charges will ensure the protection of our community from the defendant for a very long time,” DiGiacomo said.
Holloway also faces child abuse charges after allegedly striking an
11-year-old with her vehicle while her 3-year-old daughter was sitting
in the backseat, authorities said. She was previously charged with
murder, child abuse and felony hit-and-run, the Associated Press
reported at the time. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson had
previously said prosecutors were considering additional charges.
