Oklahoma parade crash suspect due in court

Police are waiting on toxicology reports, but said they hope that OSBI will speed up the process.

Four people were killed – three adults and a 2-year-old child. At least 46 others were hurt.

Chambers is set to make her first court appearance Monday.

“I was not satisfied at all that I was communicating with a competent individual”, Tony Coleman, Chambers’ attorney, said.

According to NewsOK.com’s Matt Dinger, Chambers, 25, “will likely be charged with driving under the influence of drugs”. Chambers was jailed over the weekend and faces a charge of driving under the influence and four counts of second-degree murder.

Three adults – identified as Nakita Prabhakar, 23, of Edmond, Oklahoma; Bonnie Jean Stone, 65; and Marvin Lyle Stone, 65, both of Stillwater – were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Dozens more were injured. Coleman said she left within the hour in tears because she was asked to leave, though her employer hasn’t commented on the matter.

According to the Oklahoman newspaper, Chambers’ boyfriend, Jesse Gaylord, told Coleman that Chambers suffers from diabetes, but was not being treated or medicated for the condition. Quite simply, Coleman said Chambers has been clean in the past – no drugs or alcohol. Police are still awaiting the results of blood tests. “I don’t know why it happened”, Floyd Chambers, the woman’s father, said.

Coleman also said Chambers’ family and friends had said she showed “warning signs” of mental illness, including uneasiness, uncertainty and trouble sleeping.

A man who was watching the parade with his family said the crash sounded like a bomb went off, transformed a festive mood into one of horror.

26 more people were injured, nine seriously.

“I’ve been here 29 years and I can’t recall an incident of this magnitude”, the force’s captain Kyle Gibbs said.

One of the injured had been a baby sitter for Lewis, she said. “The screaming… and a lot of chaos”.

Betz says Nakal’s unrealized potential will be mourned, but that her life should be honored. McNitt says his leg was slightly injured and his mother, Sharon Schmitz, also was slightly injured. “It’s disgusting”, said Dan Whitmire, who was visiting his daughter from Dallas and had planned to attend Saturday’s homecoming game, which was held anyway, but changed his mind after the crash. Police have yet to identify the victims. Officials with the Payne County district attorney’s office couldn’t immediately be reached.
