Woman detained after driving into a Brown County supermarket and killing one

Nashville, Indiana – After ramming her automobile into a grocery store in Nashville, Indiana, and causing the death of the vehicle’s passenger, Randall Duncan, a woman was apprehended and is now facing many criminal counts related to the incident.

According to court documents released on Friday, sometime on June 4, Brown County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Brown County IGA grocery store located at 30 Hawthorne Drive on a report of a vehicle driving into the store with someone trapped in the wreckage. The documents state that the incident occurred sometime in the afternoon.

When the investigators arrived, they found the vehicle’s driver, Amanda Beaver, 41, sitting beside the vehicle with an injured ankle. Beaver was also driving the vehicle. When investigators questioned Beaver about what had taken place, she “shrugged her shoulders and said, ‘I don’t know.'”

Duncan was identified by the officers as the one who was unable to escape the vehicle.

According to the court documents, law enforcement authorities spoke with a number of witnesses who stated that Beaver’s vehicle crashed into the IGA while traveling at a high rate of speed. The witnesses also stated that there was “no braking” or “attempt to avoid the building.” This information was provided to the investigators.

At the scene, emergency personnel confirmed that Duncan was deceased. Later, Beaver was treated for her wounds at the IU Bloomington Hospital after being transported there.

According to the court documents, law enforcement officers attempted to have Beaver take a breathalyzer test, but Beaver was unable to blow forcefully enough into the apparatus. A sample of Beaver’s blood was taken for analysis by the hospital’s toxicology department while he was there.

She was brought into prison shortly after Beaver was discharged from the medical facility.

The following day, authorities got footage from a security camera located at a bank close to the IGA. The tape showed Beaver’s vehicle driving toward the store before it disappeared from the camera’s view.

According to the court documents, when the officers returned to the scene, they could not locate any evidence of an attempt to avoid colliding with the structure, such as brake marks or scuffs.

Beaver has been charged with three counts of felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated while causing death, operating a vehicle while intoxicated while causing serious bodily injury, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated while committing reckless murder.

In addition to this, she is being charged with three misdemeanors: operating a car while under the influence of alcohol and causing endangerment, causing criminal damage, and acting criminally reckless.

The results of the toxicological study are not yet available to the investigators who are looking into the case.

According to a statement that was issued by the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office, Beaver was being held at the Brown County jail on a bond of one hundred thousand dollars.

On August 9, at eight in the morning, a trial before a jury was slated to begin.
