   MILWAUKEE - A Waukesha woman is accused of driving drunk and causing a   
   crash that killed her friend near 91st and Bradley in Milwaukee. After the   
   crash, prosecutors say she denied she was driving.   
      
   Shauntonae Walton, 26, faces one count of homicide by intoxicated use of a   
   vehicle, one count of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle with a   
   prohibited alcohol concentration and one count of knowingly operating a   
   vehicle without a license, causing death.   
      
   The crash happened around 3 a.m. on Dec. 10.   
      
   According to a criminal complaint, a witness said the vehicle was swerving   
   northbound on 91st before going off the road and striking a tree.   
      
   The passenger in the car, a Madison woman, 31, was pronounced dead at the   
   scene from multiple blunt force injuries.   
      
   Prosecutors say Walton was found to have red, glassy eyes, slurred speech,   
   an odor of intoxicants coming from her and vomit on her clothing. When   
   asked whether she was driving, prosecutors say she initially shook her   
   head "yes." However, in subsequent interviews with police, she claimed she   
   was laying in the back seat at the time of the crash.   
      
   She told investigators she had been at Bowlero near 117th and Burleigh   
   with Madison woman, and they then went to a club near 45th and Burleigh.   
   That's where Walton said after drinking, she began to "fall asleep." She   
   said a bartender helped her to the car, and she was placed in the back   
   seat, laying down, while her companion drove. She said the next thing she   
   knew, she woke up to someone telling her there was a crash, the complaint   
   says.   
      
   Police say an investigation revealed no such "club" exists in the location   
   where Walton claimed she was, near 45th or 46th and Burleigh.   
   Investigators also pointed out she was not found in the back of the car at   
   the scene of the crash.   
      
   She blew a .223 at the hospital, prosecutors say, and she has never had a   
   valid driver's license. She was cited for OWI in Waukesha in 2018 and in   
   Brookfield in 2021.   
      
   She made her initial appearance in court Wednesday, Dec. 14. Cash bond was   
   set at $10,000.
