Woman Who Crashed Into Haven Home Is Going To Jail

A pleaded no contest to charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and fleeing and eluding Thursday in .

April Lineberry, 20, of Concord Township, was convicted of both charges and Judge John Trebets sentenced her to 323 days in jail.

On Oct. 2, Lineberry drove a pickup truck into the assisted living home. However, according to police, that was not the first or last crash she was involved in Sunday night.

First, she was involved in a 2-vehicle crash in the 8000 block of Mentor Avenue.

After that collision, she drove off the road, ran over a tree, crashed her Chevrolet pickup truck through a fence, hit a dumpster and knocked it into one of the room's at Haven Home.

Fortunately, nobody was in the bedroom that was hit, police said.

After that crash, Lineberry backed out of the building, drove through a backyard on Parker Drive, hit another tree and went back onto Mentor Avenue and proceeded east.

Police spotted her truck and signalled for her to stop. Lineberry eventually stopped in the 9000 block of Old Johnnycake Road.

The 12 people who live at Haven Homes had to be evacuated because the building is not habitable without repairs. Either family members picked them up or they were taken to other assisted living facilities.

Nobody was seriously hurt by the crashes, but one woman staying at Haven Homes was taken to the hospital afterward as a precautionary measure.

Haven Home has since reopened.
