A Forest Lake man was charged with murder Monday in reference to the hit-and-run killing of a 51-year-old St. Paul woman last week at a Wyoming gas station.
Mark Andrew Wiosky, 37, was charged with murder within the third degree and criminal vehicular homicide, in response to the Chisago County Attorney’s office. The victim was identified Monday by authorities as 51-year-old Heidi Lynn White, of St. Paul.
The criminal criticism gave the next details:
Shortly before 10:30 p.m. Thursday, police received reports that a person and woman had been arguing on the Holiday Gas Station on Kettle River Boulevard in Wyoming and that the person had then run the girl over before fleeing the scene.
When police arrived, the girl had lost consciousness and had labored respiration. The responding officer grabbed his medical gear and went to take over from witnesses who were trying to offer first aid to the girl, who was bleeding from her head.
Video footage showed that earlier, the truck had pulled into the car parking zone of the gas station and the automotive had followed. At one point, the person got out of his truck and flicked a cigarette contained in the automotive where the girl was sitting. Then he reached into her automotive and grabbed the keys before getting back into his truck.
The girl got out of her automotive and the 2 argued as the girl tried to get her keys back from him as he sat contained in the truck.
As she was reaching into the motive force’s window of the truck attempting to get her keys, the person accelerated and the girl was hanging onto the door. She fell and the truck’s rear wheel ran over her head as the person drove off within the truck.
Although the video showed the truck go up and down because it drove over the girl, the person didn’t stop. He paused briefly on the exit to the car parking zone to throw the girl’s automotive keys out the window.
Investigators found a text from Wiosky on the girl’s phone. They interviewed his wife, who told them Wiosky and White had been “hanging around one another” the past few months.
The wife said her husband is a “hot head and has a temper when he’s using methamphetamine.”
Wiosky called police the subsequent day and turned himself in. He admitted to driving the truck, using methamphetamine an hour before he met up with White and arguing together with her.
Wiosky appeared in court Monday and is being held on $750,000 money bail or $250,000 with conditions.
He’s scheduled to next appear in court at 11 a.m. July 7.
