ERIE, Pa. (AP) - A Pennsylvania police officer charged with drunken driving in an off-duty crash that killed another driver is scheduled for trial in June.
The Erie Times-News reports 47-year-old Cheryl Frey will face trial starting June 11. She is charged in a Feb. 18, 2017, crash that killed 57-year-old Wade Schulze. Charges include homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence.
Investigators say Frey’s blood-alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit when she crossed into oncoming traffic, hitting Schulze’s vehicle and killing him.

Frey had pleaded guilty as part of a deal with prosecutors but backed out of it earlier this year. Her lawyer says she believes the other driver played a significant role in the crash.
Frey has been suspended without pay from the Erie Bureau of Police.
