## Resource

A 29-year-old mom from Grand Island, Karni Metcalf, faces serious felony charges after crashing her car with her three kids, admitting she lost control while under the influence. Though misdemeanor charges were dropped for now, her history—including a 2025 conviction for crashing into the Platte River with her kids while intoxicated—raises alarms. She’s waived her preliminary hearing and is set for district court on July 21. This case underscores the deadly mix of substance abuse and driving, especially when children are at risk.
