By Riley S. Lovejoy, Attorney at Law – On Thursday, Camille Spink was finally arraigned on vehicular homicide and vehicular assault charges stemming from a collision that occurred in February. Spink and a friend were headed to a bar in north Everett when they crashed. The 127-pound woman told Everett police that she drank three glasses of wine at a friend's house before leaving for the bar. She also admitted smoking marijuana earlier in the day.
Police claim Spink, 28, smelled of alcohol and was stumbling and swaying at the crash scene. Her blood was drawn at the hospital and a test showed her blood-alcohol level was .21, and that there were signs she had ingested marijuana.
Prosecutors allege that Spink ignored flashing lights and traffic signs warning that she was driving the wrong direction before she plowed into an oncoming car. Spink told police she didn't know how the collision happened.
Sheena Blair, 24, and Martin “Tony” Ramirez, 19, both of Tacoma, were killed in the crash. Luis Reyna and Marco Ortiz, both 18, suffered serious injuries and multiple broken bones. Reyna was in court on Thursday. He wiped away tears and held tight to Blair's mom.
Spink pleaded not guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide and two counts of vehicular assault. She hasn't been jailed and prosecutors on Thursday didn't ask for bail.
