twitterWoman arrested again on charges of killing pedestrian five years ago
Tuesday, March 23, 1999 | 10:08 a.m.
Washoe County sheriff's deputies arrested Jane Woerner, 39, on Monday.
Authorities allege Woerner intentionally struck Sparks resident Kevin Brickey with her full-size Chevrolet pickup as Brickey was walking along the shoulder of U.S. 395 on Aug. 15, 1993.
Woerner was arrested at that time but was later admitted to the Nevada Mental Health Institute. Criminal charges against her were then dismissed when a judge found her incompetent to stand trial.
A warrant for her arrest was reissued in December 1997. Woerner was arrested on that warrant Monday after a court order declared her mentally competent.
