9 years in prison for woman in fatal drunken driving crash

Posted

 A Green Bay woman has been sentenced in federal court to nine years in prison for a drunken driving crash that killed a passenger and injured another.

 
28-year-old Ashley Kitchenakow earlier pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and reckless endangerment in a crash on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Neopit last August.
 
Investigators say Kitchenakow lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree.
 
Judge William Griesbach also sentenced Kitchenakow this week to five years of supervised release following her prison sentence.
 
Kitchenakow has previous convictions for driving drunk, underage drinking and operating after suspension.
