APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A woman who allegedly crashed into a house while trying to get away from a traffic stop still does not have an attorney, so a preliminary hearing has not been scheduled.
Andi Anthony, 31, of Oshkosh, is charged with second-degree reckless injury and bail jumping following the incident Dec. 9 in Grand Chute.
In her first court appearance, Anthony refused to leave her cell and hid under a cell bunk. Thursday, she appeared by video in court without any issues. She returns to court April 17 for a status conference.
According to the criminal complaint, drug investigators saw Anthony and a male passenger get into a suspect car outside a Grand Chute business. The officer followed the car, and after seeing the driver improperly stop at a stop sign, tried to pull the car over.
The driver sped off, at one point reaching an estimated 80 mph in a 30 mph zone on Capitol Drive. The officer turned off his lights and siren when he lost sight of the car. A few minutes later, the car crashed into the attached garage of a house in the 3100 block of W. Capitol Drive. Witnesses said the two people in the vehicle ran away from the scene.
A little more than an hour later, Anthony and the passenger were found hiding in a shed. After being taken to the hospital, the passenger told police he had suffered injuries including a broken pelvis.
At the scene of the crash, police found hypodermic needles, the overdose-reversing medication naloxone and cash that had apparently fallen out of the car.
Court records indicate Anthony has an open case for cocaine possession in Fond du Lac County. She was released on a $1,500 cash bond on July 30, which she was ordered to forfeit Nov. 15 after she did not show up for court.
