A woman told a judge someone spiked her drink at Chick-fil-A before she allegedly hit and killed a pedestrian, carjacked two vehicles and crashed into three cars.
Kristie Renee Nesby, 43, of Fresno, Texas, was denied bond during a hearing Wednesday in Cobb County, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Nesby was arrested after a crime spree that began the morning of May 11 in Smyrna, continued on Cobb Parkway near Bells Ferry Road and ended in front of the Majestic Diner in Atlanta, authorities said.
She allegedly robbed a cleaners in Smyrna, then drove into a 71-year-old woman walking on a sidewalk on Cobb Parkway without stopping, Cobb police Officer Alicia Chilton said at the time. The pedestrian later died at WellStar Kennestone Hospital.
“After striking the pedestrian, the suspect carjacked another motorist’s vehicle and fled the scene southbound on Cobb Parkway,” Marietta police spokesman Jared Rakestraw said in May. “A short distance down the road near Canton Road and I-75, the suspect committed an additional carjacking and fled that scene as well.”
Nesby made it to Atlanta, wrecked the car, got out of that vehicle and ran down Ponce de Leon Avenue with the gun, police said.
She tried to take other vehicles before Atlanta police took her down in front of the Majestic Diner, Chilton said.
Nesby was charged with murder, vehicular homicide, hit and run, aggravated assault (multiple counts), armed robbery, vehicle hijacking, reckless driving and failure to maintain lane, according to Cobb and Marietta police.
She has been in the Cobb Adult Detention Center since her arrest.
