The woman accused of a deadly hit-and-run of an off-duty Shelbyville officer entered a guilty plea on Monday.
Ashley Dyan Catlett pleaded guilty to all charges involved, including leaving the scene of a fatal crash, along with other traffic offenses.
In August 2022, Thomas Elmore was riding a motorcycle when he was struck by a car on Outer Loop and Minor Lane.
Police said Catlett was making a left turn when the crash happened.
Witnesses told police she got out of the car and left on foot.
She was later arrested and charged with a felony for leaving the scene of an accident and failing to render aid. Catlett also faced misdemeanor charges for not having a driver’s license and failure to maintain insurance.
Elmore, who died at the scene, had been with the Shelbyville Police Department for around a year.
