Angenette Welk-Missett Case
A Florida woman who made national headlines last year when she smiled in her mugshot after a drunk driving crash was sentenced to prison Thursday.
Angenette Welk-Missett, of Ocala, was sentenced to 11 years in prison after she pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence manslaughter and two counts of DUI with property damage.
The judge said Welk-Missett must serve at least four years before she is eligible for release.
Welk-Missett was driving down U.S. Highway 27 in Marion County on May 10, 2018, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said, when she rear-ended a Hyundai Elantra that then slammed into a semi-truck.
Sandra Clarkston, 60, of Sarasota, died four days later from injuries suffered in the crash.
Welk-Missett spoke during sentencing and said she is a changed person.
“I am very very sorry for your loss, your mother is woven into my DNA. I think about her every single day and I dream about her every single night, and I am truly sorry and if I could change spots with your mother, I would in a heartbeat,” she said.
The family of the victim was very clear about letting the woman heading to prison know how they felt.
“All because of her choice, I will never see my mom again,” Clarkston’s daughter Keonna Sciacca said.
