The LA social media influencer was arrested months after he allegedly killed a man in a drunken head-on clash, leaving behind a Nobu party packed with celebrities, authorities said.
Summerwheaton, 33, with over 101,000 followers on Instagram, made a self-destruct Monday after the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department issued a warrant for arrest following the fatal shipwreck on July 4th last year. I turned it.
Self-style “wellness advocates” were booked for manslaughter and drunk driving, records concluded a few months of investigation into a late-night crash that killed 44-year-old ride-sharing driver Martin Okeke. Masu.
Authorities say a fatal clash unfolded after Wheaton left his independent Independence Day party at Swanky Beachside Restaurant in Malibu around 10:30pm
Wheaton then drove drunkenly across the middle of the Pacific Coast Highway, plowing head-on to Okeke's 2020 Cadillac.
It was declared that Okeke was dead at the scene.
Wheaton and the passengers of Okeke's vehicle were both treated for injuries at the hospital.
At the time, authorities said speed and alcohol could have caused a fatal shipwreck. It was not immediately clear why it took Wheaton months to be booked.
The charges alleged she was “severely drunk and disabled” when the clash occurred after Okeke's family slapped an illegal death lawsuit against Wheelon in December.
The suit is named in the same way as Nobu Malibu, hospitality company Howd Group LLC, which hosts its July 4th party at its trendy oceanfront restaurant.
In the wake of the crash, Malibu officials have revealed that they rejected the party's request to host last year's Nobu's permission request due to traffic and safety concerns, but the event is still ahead of the board. The lawsuit filed accusations.
Former boxing champion Mike Tyson was one of the famous guests at the event.
This post was contacted Wheaton, a former real estate agent, but did not hear a response immediately.
A few months after the crash, she broke the silence on Instagram, telling her fans: “The last few months have been tough.”
“When everything seems to fall apart, you know that feeling, but somehow it's really the beginning of something beautiful? Well, it was me.”
Wheaton has since posted $250,000 in bonds, records show.
