No bond for woman charged with DUI manslaughter

Posted on Dec 20, 2009

A Virginia Beach woman who hit two pedestrians at Town Center last month has been denied bond. She is in Virginia Beach jail and faces charges of DUI-second offense, refusal to take a breathalyzer, manslaughter and maiming.

The charges stem from an incident last month when the woman, 29 year old Natasha Herzog, drover her SUV into two pedestrians at the intersection of Columbus Street and Market Street near Town Center.

One pedestrian, a woman, 23, was taken to the hospital where she was found to have several broken bones and need surgery. She is expected to recover.

The other pedestrian, Hunter Richardson, 23, suffered massive internal injuries when hit by Herzog, and died not long after the crash. Richardson, an only child, was a recent graduate of Virginia Tech, and had a degree in Economics and Environmental Science. He was buried at Centenary United Methodist Churt in Portsmouth.

Herzog, who has been arrested for drunken driving before, will remain in jail until her next court date, which is scheduled for January 14, 2010.
