A woman identified as Heather Daniels stated in the complaint that Melissa Pace knowingly drive off in a vehicle while a passenger in that vehicle held on to the arm of Daniels. Daniels was then “dragged up the street”, which created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury. Melissa pace was charged with wanton endangerment -1st degree.
Pace was also served an outstanding warrant for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs – 1st offense, possession of controlled substance – 1st offense (drug unspecified), possession of controlled substance – 2nd offense (drug unspecified), and buying/possessing drug paraphernalia.
