TRAGEDY. TRAGEDY APPEARED IN

THAT HITTING KILLED HAILEY

BROOKS WRAL'S CHELSEA DONOVAN

DILIGENCE, DISTRICT ATTORNEY

LAUREN FREEMAN SAYS MORE

CHARGES FOR GLASS COULD BE

FILED AS THE INVESTIGATION IS

ONGOING.

>> LAST WEEK, HAILEY'S FATHER

TREY TOOK TO THE GOFUNDME SITE

FOR HIS DAUGHTER AFTER SEVERAL

MONTHS OF SILENCE STATING,

QUOTE, NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE

AND GRIEF IS THE COST OF LOVE.

THE FACT THAT THOSE WHO KNEW

HALEY LOVED HER SO MUCH MAKES

THE COST EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH.

HALEY WAS TRULY ONE OF A KIND

HER OUTSIDE BEAUTY SHINED.

BUT IT WAS OR INNER BEAUTY THAT

MADE HER SPECIAL. FINALLY,

HALEY WAS DESTINED TO MAKE A

HUGE IMPACT ON THIS WORLD AS

HER PARENTS, WE REFUSED TO LET

HALEY'S NAME AND LEGACY END ON

THAT DAY. WE WILL BE STARTING

A FOUNDATION IN HALEY'S NAME TO

SERVE THE COMMUNITY. GLASS HAS

NO PRIOR CRIMINAL RECORD.

SO IF YOU WERE TO BE CONVICTED

ON ALL OF THESE CHARGES, HE

COULD FACE A MAXIMUM PENALTY

OF A YEAR IN PRISON.

>> A 30 DAY SUSPENSION OF HIS

DRIVER'S LICENSE AS WELL AS
