JIM CHAPMAN | The Journal Gazette
A Fort Wayne woman who admitted she recklessly caused a fatal crash would be placed on probation if a judge accepts a plea agreement.
Jessica M. Hakes, 33, pleaded guilty Thursday in Allen Superior Court to criminal recklessness, a felony punishable by six months to 21/2 years in prison. She was to stand trial April 20.
Hakes was involved in a crash that killed a motorcyclist just south of downtown Fort Wayne on July 1, 2019. A year later, police said she had THC – an ingredient found in marijuana – in her system when she drove her Honda HRV into the motorcycle s path on Lafayette Street, near Esmond Street.
