Mitzel Ordered To Pay Nearly $400 For Driving Charges

A 93-year-old Oberon woman who authorities say hit two motorcycles with her car, resulting in the death of a pregnant woman, has been sentenced for misdemeanor driving charges on Tuesday.

The Ramsey County State's Attorney, Lonnie Olson, said Faith Mitzel was ordered to pay $375 in fines. She will also face 60 days in jail if she commits a crime within the next two years.

This comes after her license was pulled by the state this summer after she was involved in a deadly accident in May in Benson County. A motorcycle passenger was killed and two others were hurt.

The prosecution had said they would ask for the maximum punishment of 60 days in jail.
