Bail increased in Daly City DUI case... |
Bail was increased to $500,000 on Monday morning for an Oakmont man charged with driving drunk and killing a Daly City woman in Sonoma County on Thursday night.
The California Highway Patrol alleged that 83-year-old Cedric Beebe was driving the wrong way on U.S. Highway 101 and caused three crashes around 11:30 p.m., one of which killed 21-year-old Jessica Wong of Daly City.
Wong was a passenger in a Toyota Camry driven by 27-year-old Anne Buchanan of Berkeley. Buchanan swerved to avoid Beebe's 2006 Toyota Corolla and her vehicle crashed into a tree, according to the CHP. Buchanan was injured but survived the crash.
Beebe's arraignment was continued until Nov. 2 so he can retain an attorney. Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Rene Chouteau increased bail from $50,000 to $500,000 and ordered a psychiatric examination of the defendant.
Deputy District Attorney Spencer Brady asked for the increase in bail because he was concerned Beebe might post $50,000 bail and leave the country. Beebe told the judge he was supposed to leave on Tuesday for a 10-day trip to Mexico.
Beebe is charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving under the influence, DUI with a blood-alcohol level at or above 0.08 percent, hit-and- run, driving onto the other side of a divided highway and reckless driving causing bodily injury.
