Jail records said she remained in custody Tuesday. The court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.

The crash occurred around 8:15 p.m. on Feb. 9 near the Nebraska Highway 370 westbound entrance ramp, east of Gretna. An investigation indicates Prentice’s car hit the rear of a stalled car driven by Nabil Shokai, 67, of Lincoln. Shokai was pronounced dead at a hospital, the sheriff’s office said. A passenger, Kalul Bor, 74, was injured.

Prentice and three passengers in her car were treated for minor injuries.
