A 55-year-old Cameron woman is back in jail awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges.

Jacqueline Marie McQuinn was charged in connection with a traffic fatality in August of last year. She pleaded guilty to a reduced class-d felony charge of involuntary manslaughter in the second degree.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report, Ms McQuinn was driving along US-69 south of Cameron on August 4, 2014 when she ran into a UTV entering the highway from private property near County Road 336.

Investigators say she was driving drunk and had a prior DWI conviction.  The driver of the UTV was 74-year-old Charles O. Cooper of Cameron. Mr Cooper was killed in the crash.

Judge Daren Adkins ordered a Sentence Assessment Report, and is expected to schedule sentencing in November. Ms McQuinn had been free on bond, but Judge Adkins revoked her bond after he guilty plea. The defendant is being held in the Clinton County Jail.
