Alexis Clark Sentenced for Fatal Hit-and-Run
On January 6, 2025, Alexis Clark, a 25-year-old woman from Green Bay, was sentenced to five years in prison for her involvement in a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred on July 15, 2023. The victim of the crash was David Joseph Fournier (b. December 5, 1974), a 48-year-old bicyclist who died as a result of being struck by Clark’s vehicle on the Interstate Bridge near Stephenson Island.
Details of the Incident
The incident took place around 2 AM when Clark ran over Fournier while he was riding his bicycle. Following the collision, she fled the scene without stopping to check on the victim or report the accident to authorities, which is a legal obligation for drivers involved in such incidents. Law enforcement used security camera footage to identify and locate Clark after she left the scene.
Legal Proceedings and Charges
Clark faced multiple charges stemming from the incident. Initially, she pleaded no contest to hit and run involving death. Additionally, she was charged with homicide by vehicle while using a controlled substance; however, this charge was dismissed but read in at sentencing. The criminal complaint indicated that an initial blood test showed no alcohol in her system, but a subsequent test revealed cocaine present in her bloodstream.
In Marinette Municipal Court, Clark was also convicted of operating a vehicle with a detectable amount of restricted controlled substances in her blood. The prosecution argued that her actions demonstrated poor judgment and negligence since she chose to drive after consuming illegal drugs and failed to remain at the scene of the accident.
Sentencing Details
During sentencing, Judge Peggy Miller emphasized that Clark exhibited extremely poor judgment and showed little remorse for her actions and their impact on Fournier’s family. She received a sentence of five years in prison followed by five years of extended supervision. Additionally, Clark’s driving privileges were revoked for five years as part of her sentence.
The case highlighted significant issues regarding impaired driving and accountability following vehicular accidents. The District Attorney’s Office underscored the importance of sober driving and adherence to legal responsibilities when involved in traffic incidents.
Conclusion
In summary, Alexis Clark was sentenced to five years in prison for causing the death of David Fournier through a hit-and-run incident while under the influence of cocaine.
David is survived by one daughter Abby (Brandon) Dey, one son Aaron Fournier, and two Grandsons Vincent and Henry, his parents Joseph and Judith Fournier, two sisters Karen (Nathan) Scoon and Jenny (James) Bohan, two Nieces Ella and Hattie, and the mother of his children Lori Fournier.
