A pre-preliminary hearing has been set for a driver from Shawnee facing a felony count and a misdemeanor charge following a two-vehicle personal injury traffic collision at U.S. 177 and Highway 66 near Wellston.
Formal charges of DUI-Great Bodily injury and failure to stop for yield sign were filed July 15 this year against Tymber Nannette Hall, 34.
Her bond was set at $3,000. She made her initial appearance July 18. before Special Judge Emily Mueller who ordered her to return to court with an attorney on Sep. 26.
On that date, Judge Mueller set her pre-preliminary hearing for 1:30 p.m. Nov. 21.
The felony DUI count accuses Hall on July 7, 2024 of causing an accident at U.S. 177 and Highway 66 in which C.A. and S.A. suffered head injuries while the defendant was driving/operating a 2011 Blue Ford Expedition automobile and was under the influence of an intoxicating substance that made her incapable of safely driving a motor vehicle.
The misdemeanor charges her on the same day of failing to obey the instructions of an official traffic control sign/device that said stop at the intersection of U.S. 177 and Highway 66.
Hall also faces another felony, prisoner placing body fluid on government employee. That charge was filed in Lincoln County District Court on July 10, three days after she had been placed in the Lincoln County Jail in Chandler.
Her court appearance on that count was also July 18. Her bond on that charge was set at $3,000.
On that felony she is accused on July 8, 2024 of spitting saliva on Athanasius Penney while he was performing his duties as an employee of the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
State Trooper Caleb Scott, who was dispatched to the scene of the traffic collision that Sunday afternoon and investigated the injury crash, stated in a probable cause affidavit that as he arrived he noticed a blue SUV that had departed the roadway and went through a barbed wire fence into a grass field.
Scott said he also observed a black pickup that had heavy damage to the rear of the vehicle. Witnesses advised him the occupants of that pickup truck had been transported to OU Medical Center by ground ambulance prior to his arrival.
