by

St. Louis Park, Minn. (Fox 9) – – After a car was plowed in the terrace in the Tavern Park and left two people and a dozen other injured, the accused drunk driver is now hired in the crash in order to admit.

Park Tavern Crash guilty plea

What we know:

For Wednesday morning in the Hennepin County Court for Bailey, a hearing for Wednesday morning is set. The public prosecutor says that Bailey has agreed to guilty in the crash.

It is unclear how much prison time Bailey can be exposed to behind the grids under the plea. In this case, a plea petition has not yet been submitted. FOX 9 will find out more during listening at 8:30 a.m. You can see a press conference live in the player mentioned above after hearing performance.

The plea will only be taken in court on May 12th on May 12th.

What you say:

After Fox 9 found out about the creed on Tuesday on Tuesday, he spoke to one of the victims in the case.

“At least we know that he will be in prison and he will not be able to hurt other people …” said Tegan d'Blani, who suffered several leg and pelvic injuries. “If this happened to your children, what would you think an appropriate sentence would be for someone who might have killed your child because of drunk driving?”

Fox 9 also heard from the owner of the tavern. “The only justice is really an eye for an eye, but that's just not our legal system,” said the owner of Park Tavern, Phil Weber. “I would not even want to waste my breath to speak to him. If he does not have the common sense given by God so as not to do what he did-someone like that is beyond reason. They just don't think like a normal person.”

Fatal Park Tavern driver to commit yourself guilty

The man who was charged with murder and drunk driving after falling into the terrace in the Tavern Park in St. Louis Park, plans to fight guilty just a few days before the start of his process. Mike Manzoni from Fox 9 spoke to one of the victims from the crash to ask how they feel on the eve of the decision.

Fatal Park Tavern Crash: What happened?

The background story:

According to the authorities, Bailey tested more than four times across the border, with a blood alcohol level of 0.325 after falling into the terrace area of ​​the tavern in September 2024.

The video showed that Bailey drove his vehicle and tried to get back to a parking space, but to hit another car. When he retired out of the spot, the police said that the vehicle accelerated into the terrace area, where a group of Methodist hospital workers gathered for the night.

The victims:

Two people were killed in the crash: Park Tavern Server Kristina Folkerts and the employee of the Methodist Hospital Gabe Harvey. At least a dozen people were injured, including four methodist nurses: Theo Larson, Tegan d'Bilani, Laura Knutsen and Eric Schefers.

The charging documents also showed that Bailey lived only a few minutes' walk from the Tavern Park.

Remember the Park Tavern Crash Park

Kristina Folkerts, one of the victims of the fatal crash in the Tavern Park in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, had a deep, lifelong connection to Park Tavern, where she worked as a server that Fox had previously profiled.

The indictment against Bailey

Timetable:

After the crash, Bailey initially stood with two cases of crime people and nine cases of criminal vehicle. A month after the crash, however, the district of the Hennepin district upgraded the indictment against Bailey and added two cases of murder third degree.

Just last week, the prosecutors added three other charges of the criminal vehicle company for three injured victims, while two earlier counts of the previous vehicles were caused by “considerable physical damage” by the “great physical damage”.

It is unclear which indictment Bailey has agreed to guilty.

Court files showed that Bailey had condemned at least five driving convicts in his record before the Tavern's park was crashed.

  • Bailey was arrested in September 1985 for driving under the influence in Wisconsin. Bailey was only 17 years old at the time.
  • Bailey was arrested again in December 1992 because he had driven in the Wabasha district under the influence of Wabasha.
  • His third arrest took place in November 1997 in Hennepin County.
  • In 2013, Bailey was arrested in Waseca for drunk driving. In the case of the case, he finally owed himself guilty.
