GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A Green Bay woman is facing charges after allegedly causing a hit-and-run crash of an attended vehicle back in November.
26-year-old Ashley M. Goulder is charged with hit-and-run and felony bail jumping.
According to the criminal complaint, Green Bay police were called around 5:45 p.m. on November 13 for a hit-and-run crash in the 1500 block of Shawano Avenue.
The officer responding found the victim, who said that he was backed into a parking space with his van when a car tried to pull into the spot next to him. The female driver missed the spot and struck the front bumper of the van.
The car then went just past the bumper, backed up and scraped his bumper again. The driver then fled the parking lot.
It took 5 days before an officer could get in touch with the registered owner of the car. The owner called the cop to say that Ashley Goulder was the driver that day. Goulder told the owner that she had been hit by a vehicle in the parking lot of McDonald’s, but the driver who hit her didn’t have a driver’s license so she just got his info and left.
Authorities found that Goulder had been staying at the Brown County Community Treatment Center. An officer tried speaking with her, but Goulder refused to talk with them. The officer waited a week and then issued a citation for the hit-and-run attended vehicle.
The Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles reported that Goulder’s driving privileges had been revoked. She also was still out on bond from a Manitowoc County case from two months earlier where she was charged with felony bail jumping and theft-false representation.
Goulder was also convicted on October 9, 2015, of failure to report to county jail in Manitowoc County.
Ashley Goulder is due in Brown County court on March 17. If convicted on both counts, Goulder faces up to 12-and-a-half years in prison.
