Alexis N. Clark (Marinette Co. Jail)
MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A motorist who allegedly struck and killed a bicyclist on the Interstate Bridge in Marinette – and who tested positive for cocaine in her system – pleaded not guilty Thursday.
Alexis Clark, 25, is charged with homicide by vehicle with use a controlled substance, and hit and run resulting in death.
No trial date was set. She returns to court June 26 for a status conference, court records show.
David Fournier, 48, died as a result of the July 14, 2023 crash.
According to the criminal complaint, police used security camera video to track down Clark. She told police she ran over some rubbish on the road and kept going.
An initial blood test was done, which showed no alcohol in her system. Results of a second blood test were returned March 1, and showed Clark had cocaine in her system, according to the complaint. Charges were filed March 12.
Unlike alcohol, which state law has permissible amounts for driving, there is no allowable limit for illegal drugs, such as cocaine, and can result in the homicide by vehicle with use a controlled substance charge.
