A 30-year-old woman accused of striking and killing her boyfriend with her car last April will go to trial beginning on May 17th in Labette County.
Tiffany Jakee is charged in connection to the events on April 1st that killed her boyfriend, 30-year-old William Alex Treiber. She is charged with first-degree murder, failing to stop at an accident involving death or personal injury, two counts of aggravated endangering a child, domestic battery, and driving under the influence.
Jakee was reportedly driving southbound on U.S. 59 just south of U.S. 400. She passed a vehicle in a no-passing zone and then drove onto the northbound shoulder and struck Treiber, who was walking south. Treiber was pronounced dead at the scene. Jakee left the scene and was stopped a short distance later and arrested. Her blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit in Kansas.
Jakee remains jailed on a $250,000 bond and she could receive up to life in prison if convicted on the murder charge.
