MUGSHOT MAYHEM: REX WOMAN Is CHARGED With FELONY VEHICULAR HOMICIDE For RUNNING From FATAL HIT-AND-RUN!!!

Meet TRACEY LUCILLE LUCKEY!!!

25-year-old TRACEY LUCILLE LUCKEY is being held at the DeKALB COUNTY JAIL on charges of FELONY VEHICULAR HOMICIDE on the accusation of striking and killing 53-year-old JONESBORO resident, ERRON BUTLER, on November 30, 2011.

TRACEY LUCILLE LUCKY was arrested Wednesday, and also charged with LYING To POLICE.

Police said Luckey hit Butler while driving her 2007 Chrysler Sebring through Conley in the 2900 block of Moreland Avenue, then drove away without rendering any help or calling for aid. Police recovered the Chrysler within a day of the accident near Jonesboro Road and Bisbee Avenue.


DeKALB SHERIFF OFFICE Sgt ADRION BELL said;

“Once questioned by police, Luckey came up with an alibi to indicate that she was not driving the car.”

JOYCECILLIA MORRIS decided to help out her good friend Tracey, and back up her alibi.

However, Bell said, “when Morris found out she was covering a felony, she recanted her story of giving Luckey a ride to work.”

Authorities said Morris provided them with a sworn statement rescinding from her alibi for Luckey.
