Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson says additional charges are likely, depending on results of drug and alcohol tests and the police investigation, for the woman accused of intentionally plowing a car into dozens of pedestrians this week.
Lakeisha Nicole Holloway, who is accused of slamming her vehicle through crowds of pedestrians on a Las Vegas Strip sidewalk has been arraigned on murder, hit-and-run and child abuse charges stood in shackles Wednesday.
Holloway didn’t enter a plea during her brief court appearance.
She barely spoke and nodded to acknowledge that she understood she’ll remain in jail through the holidays while both sides investigate the crash Sunday that killed a woman and injured dozens of people.
Defense lawyer Joseph Abood characterized his 24-year-old client as distraught.
The judge set a Jan. 20 date for a preliminary hearing of the evidence.

She’s distraught ? How about all the families she brought pain to. Lock her up and throw away the key !
Give her the MAX,,,and send her to prison for LIFE W/O PAROLE….
Imagine the fallout that would have happened if she was white and the injured and dead were black. Vegas would be under siege along with a Justice department investigation. Maybe we should have car control because cars kill people . Let’s to background checks to make sure she has never been in therapy and never had criminal charges . You all know cars kill right ! Let’s make drivers license just good for the state you live in . This makes as much sense as the governor of Virginia’s action with concealed carry regulations.
Well said Dan! I agree we should ban all cars, matches, knives, clubs, poisons, and mean words. Then we can all have a big world group hug so everyone feels included and we can finally live happily ever after! Except for the loony liberals as then they will have to find something else to protest about and be grumpy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .
My thoughts exactly! Why haven’t we heard from obozo on this murder and mass destruction of many families. That’s right he is spending 3.7 million dollars on his vacation. Hillary – no word from her either, all they want is the guns from all Law abiding citizens so they can have complete control. Both backed by one of the most evil people in the world Geoge Soros.
May the good Lord be with the families injured in Las Vegas.
Where is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to straighten this out?
Dan, I agree. There should be righter controls regarding drivers’ licenses. I don’t know about the laws nowadays, but about 20 years, I had a German born doctor who said it took two to three years to get a driver’s license. That included a written exam, a psychological work-up, and a driver’s road test you wouldn’t believe. Plus the cost of a license was over a thousand dollars and could be lost very easily. Maybe we should institute something similar in the US. Make people appreciate the fact that getting a driver’s license is a privilege, not a right.
The driver screamed Allah AKBAR while running people over. Distraught my bums, dangerous, deadly muslims. It was as much an act of terrorism as the murders in San Bernardino! You can bet your life on that. We have seen more mass murders under Obama than under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush! The entire world is in turmoil because of the RACIST SOB who sits in the PEOPLE’S HOUSE! Obama called the murders at Ft. Hood as “Work place violence.” Then he also called San Bernardino as “work place violence.” How about the recruiting centers just back in May where we lost 4 Marines and 1 Sailor! Coincidence? I think NOT, we are no longer a nation of laws, except for us peons, but the politicians do whatever they want and to hell with everyone else.
So, her defense lawyer, Joseph Abood, characterized his 24-year-old client as “distraught.”
How quaint !
It´s interesting how various news agencies title their articles, and try to present it as an accident and carefully omit the name and race and gender of the driver. However, some articles reveal that Ms. Lakeisha Holloway drove out of the street, up onto the sidewalk two or three times !!!
One wonders if she is distraught because she killed only one White woman and only injured several others ?
I have to agree with the statement of “Dan,” above.
