An Erath County grand jury on Thursday indicted Gracie Yates, the woman accused of crashing a pickup into a home in Stephenville in March, killing a mother and her young son.
The 18-year-old was indicted for intoxication manslaughter (death of two people), a first degree felony, and injury to a child, a state jail felony.
She is being held at the Erath County Jail without bond.
Barbara Rocha, 49, and her seven-year-old son Alex, were asleep inside their home when the crash occurred.
The arrest warrant, obtained by Beneath the Surface News, describes Yates’ state when police arrived at a home in the 200 block of N. Ollie Street in Stephenville about 3:30 a.m. Sunday, March 22.
“Upon speaking to the defendant, officer observed blood shot/glassy eyes, extreme slurred speech, and a strong odor of alcohol emitting from her person,” the report states.
Yates initially told police that she was not driving, but later admitted that she was.
Yates had a blood alcohol level of 0.233.
She is originally from Santa Anna and was reportedly in Stephenville visiting a friend when the accident happened.
