A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for an Ada woman facing a first degree manslaughter charge in a fatal traffic collision that killed a Prague man more than two years ago.
Formal manslaughter charges were filed in Lincoln County District Court on Apr. 21, 2021 against Haley Jordan Price, then 30, of Ada, who also was charged with feloniously driving while under the influence of alcohol.
In November of 2021, following the conclusion of a preliminary hearing, Price was bound over to stand trial.
Then District Judge Cindy Ashwood scheduled Price’s jury trial for the June 2022 jury docket. During a disposition docket prior to the scheduled trial, Price announced she had new legal counsel. The judge granted her request for a continuance until Oct. 17.
Judge Ashwood denied Price’s motion to dismiss and she heard other motions that she said the court reserved ruling on until time of trial.
Judge Ashwood then scheduled Price for the felony disposition docket at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 17, 2023 and her jury trial for 9 a.m. on Feb. 6.
