A drunk Florida man allegedly mowed down a woman who was riding an "E-bike" and then drove for "approximately eight blocks" with her body on the windshield of his Nissan Altima before she was "dislodged" and left for dead, cops say.

Xavier Rugby [sic], 22, is charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving death, vehicular homicide leaving the scene, and DUI manslaughter for the Saturday night slaying of St. Petersburg resident Kjersten Aileen-Hermance Strang, 38, according to a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office press release.

Strang was traveling on 49th Street South in Gulfport when she was struck by Rugby at around 10 p.m., per police. She died of her injuries at the scene.

"Rigby was driving a 2021 Nissan Altima south on 49th Street, approaching 10th Avenue South, at a high rate of speed," the sheriff's office says. "Investigators say Rigby struck Strang, causing her to be ejected from her E-bike, landing on the windshield of the vehicle. Rigby continued driving for approximately eight blocks before Strang was dislodged from the vehicle."

Instead of stopping, Rigby allegedly sped away from the scene "without calling 911 or waiting for police and fire rescue." Officers with the St. Petersburg Police Department eventually caught up with him near 2222 49th Street South in St. Petersburg and tried testing him for DUI.

it’s really too bad that transportation to prison colonies is not an option ...

What did he think it was a palmetto bug?!
Did he try the windshield wipers?

Heavens protect us from our inhumanity.

[Tell It Right]

Another black-on-white killing.

Systemic

I’m beginning to think they were sent here as prisoners being sentenced to exile.

Was anyone else stunned by his behavior after the accident?

It’s unfortunate, as he was an aspiring rapper who was turning his life around and he was just on his way to check on his Grandma...

Very sad. I don’t get how e-bikes are legal to drive on streets and sidewalks. In the 70s we would get nabbed by the cops for doing that on our little 3 HP minibikes.

[JusPasenThru]

One wonders. I was a long time cyclist but I don’t do it anymore. If I need a thrill I walk around the PSL Walmart.

Hmmm. One could almost see a criminal pattern here. However, any assumptions about the pattern would be raciss.

By the way, who made the assumption the alleged perp was drunk? Did the perp make the claim to avoid intentional homicide,
reducing the charge to negligent homocide? The leftist judge could then release him on his own recognizance..

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, wait! Is this the fault of the Nissan Altima, or the E-Bike? They didn’t say...

[antidemoncrat]

He’s black ... this is just a misdemeanor.

Nobody is so drunk that they
don’t notice A HUMAN BODY
ON THEIR WINDSHIELD

Makes me think that he did it
ON PURPOSE

[adorno]

This is a beauty and the beast story, with a tragic end to the beauty.

Sure they are. I recall a case in Texas where a woman hit a man who became embedded in the windshield. She drove her car home, parked it in her garage and went to bed. He died in the windshield.

when you see this you can only guess its intentional, yet the media turns away

Several years ago an old geezer in St. Pete hit a pedestrian, impaled through the windshield, and drove to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, where he was stopped at the toll booth.
