A magistrate set her bond at $500,000 and scheduled her next court appearance for Monday.

If convicted, she faces up to 15 years in prison for operating while intoxicating-causing death, up to 15 years for reckless driving-causing death, up to five years for failing to stop at an accident-causing death and up to two years for resisting/obstructing arrest.
