Jail Time for English Woman who involved in hit-and-run

The Jackson County District Attorney says as part of a plea deal, three counts were dismissed against Corine Byom. She pleaded no contest to obstructing an officer. Deputies say in November of 2008, Byom was driving a truck on Highway 95 south of Hixton, when she hit the buggy, killing the horse and injuring two people.

According to the criminal complaint, Byom asked her father to help her hide the truck. Investigators say he covered it with a tarp on his property, where deputies later found it.
