Bond was set at $450,000 on Friday for a Lithonia woman charged in the deaths of three teenagers who were struck and killed by her car, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Priscilla Dianne Johnson has been in custody in Clayton County Jail since the Aug. 25 accident, charged with 13 offenses including vehicular homicide, driving under the influence and hit and run.
Police have said Johnson was on anti-depressants and using her cell phone at the time of the accident. Antonious Bishop, 16, Octavius Sorrels, 17, and Timothy Aaron, 17, were walking along Ga. 138 when they were struck by a car allegedly driven by Johnson.
Family members of the three teens met with Clayton prosecutors Friday to arrive at the bond amount, which was set by Judge Richard Brown.
Lakesha Green, mother of one of the victims, told Channel 2 she agreed to the $450,000 bond because she didn’t think Johnson would be able to meet it and will remain in jail.
“The kids can’t be brought back, but I thinks he needs some time to sit and think about her actions,” Green said.
Johnson is expected to be indicted in the next few days, Channel 2 reported.
