Emma Fox, who has been charged with an aggravated DWI and first-degree vehicular manslaughter for the death of 21-year-old Manhattanville College student Robby Schartner, is due to reappear in White Plains City Court on Feb. 23 after her Jan. 27 court date was adjourned.
Fox’s case has been adjourned five times since she reportedly struck and killed Schartner, on Oct. 9, while he was walking along Westchester Avenue in White Plains on his way back to Manhattanville.
According to the White Plains Court Clerk’s office, the case was adjourned for “further proceedings.”
Police reported that Fox, 24, had been intoxicated at the time of the incident when she struck and killed Schartner, of Fishkill, who was returning to college from a night out on Mamaroneck Avenue in downtown White Plains.
Fox was measured with a blood alcohol content of 0.21; the legal limit in New York state is 0.08.
White Plains police reported that Fox had been travelling eastbound on Westchester Avenue at around 5 a.m. when she fatally struck Schartner with her car, a 2012 Nissan Sentra. However, her whereabouts at the time of the incident are still unclear.
Stephen Lewis, an attorney representing Fox, could not be reached for comment as of press time.
