Lucido announced that 32-year-old Stephanie Holt, of St. Clair Shores, was sentenced after pleading no contest to a criminal charge connected to the death of a woman found deceased at the foot of a driveway in St. Clair Shores in November 2025. Holt pled no contest to the charge of Failure to Stop at Scene of Accident – When at Fault – Resulting in Death before Judge Jennifer M. Faunce of the Macomb County Circuit Court on July 15, 2026.

She was also ordered to have no contact with the victim’s family, complete 200 hours of community service, and attend counselling.
Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido stated, “No one should ever leave the scene of an injury accident.
