Island County Washington DUI News: Woman facing Vehicular Homicide and DUI Charges

A 22-year-old Oak Harbor woman is facing three vehicular homicide charges and the Island County prosecutor has said he plans to pursue the charges as "driving under the influence" prongs of the charges. Investigators recovered suspected heroin, cocaine, marijuana and a gun at the scene of the accident, according to court documents.  Blood was drawn from both women for testing after the accident. According to Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks, Weichert's blood allegedly tested positive for carboxy-THC, methamphetamine and opiates. Carboxy-THC is a metabolite of THC created by the body after marijuana is consumed. The opiates found in her system could be from several drugs, including heroin.  Bowling's blood allegedly tested positive for carboxy-THC and methamphetamine, according to Banks.
