An Ada woman charged with first degree manslaughter in the fatal traffic collision that killed a Prague man has been bound over to stand trial.
Haley Jordan Price, 30, was bound over recently following the conclusion of her preliminary hearing. Her arraignment has been scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Jan. 18, 2022.
Formal charges were filed in Lincoln County District Court on Apr. 21 against Price, and she also was charged with feloniously driving while under the influence of alcohol.
The first degree manslaughter charge accuses Price on about Oct. 26, 2020 of engaging in a misdemeanor. She reportedly was driving a 2014 Honda CRV while her driving privileges were suspended and her vehicle crossed the center line of the roadway colliding with a 2010 Toyota Tacoma driven by Tommy Rogers.
A probable cause affidavit filed in the case states Rogers died the following evening from the injuries he sustained in the collision. Rogers was 81.
Supplemental information filed by prosecutors shows that on March 8, 2013, Price was convicted in Pontotoc County of the misdemeanor offense of DUI.
The affidavit states that Price had a previous DUI conviction in Pontotoc County on Sep. 17, 2010, in addition to her conviction on May 8, 2013 in that county. In both convictions, she received suspended sentences.
