A West Frankfort woman has been charged after a wreck on June 10 killed a man from Bonnie.
Tabitha S. Weeks, 31, was charged with aggravated driving under the influence, a felony charge. She was booked on Tuesday, July 3 and released on bail in the amount of $7,500 cash. No word yet on when her court date will be.
