• 4:30
  Speaker 2: bodycam video, slurring and swaying as officers forced her to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: take a roadside sobriety test while neighbors gawked. The tragedy
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: unfolded just before midnight in Hilea Gardens, Florida. According to

  Speaker 2: court filings, Vega suddenly accelerated her gray SUV through an
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: apartment parking lot, smashing a yellow retainer poll and chain
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: link fence before the vehicle nose dived into a deep
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: retention pond. The car sank rapidly, wrapping sixty nine year
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: old Elsa Pintor inside. Vega managed to wiggle out of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the driver's side window and was hauled to safety with
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a rope by a police officer. Pintor, the woman Vega
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: called her best friend, could not free herself and was
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: pronounced dead body. Camera footage captured Vega's disoriented state on
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the embankment with slurred words, bloodshot eyes, and unsteady footing.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: She asked, this did my friend?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I I don't know that part of the investigation I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: here to conduct with us.
• 5:35

• 5:40
  Speaker 2: tests as she stumbled through the exercises. Toxicology reports confirmed
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Vega's blood alcohol concentration was a staggering point one point seven,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: more than twice Florida's legal limit, with traces of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: anti anxiety medication xanax in her system. Vega, a retiree
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: with no prior DUI convictions, now faces felony charges of
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide. She entered a not guilty
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: plea during her arraignment and was later released on a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: twenty five thousand dollars bond, restricted to house arrest and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: prohibited from driving. Her next court appearance is set for
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: mid December and finally talk about a sequel that nobody
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: asked for. Forty three year old Christopher McKay is officially
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: back behind bars after running the most unbelievable repeat offense
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: in Fort Worth history, trying to rob the exact same
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: bank that landed him in prison nearly a decade ago.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: McKay had previously robbed this Wells Fargo branch nine years ago,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: serving seven years for the crime. Apparently, though that sentence
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: wasn't as strong enough withdrawal penalty because he stormed back in,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: threatening employees with a handgun and demanding cash. But this
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: heist was an instant replay fail. He fled on foot
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: without a dime, and officers immediately swarmed the area, arresting
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: him nearby. McKay is now charged with aggravated robbery. He
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: tried to bank on familiarity, but he just cashed his
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: ticket for another long deposit in Terrant County Jail. Nancy.
