Young Southern Baptist of the Week: Vitalija Vasciunaite
Or, as we like to call her: Ol’ 17 45’s @ 22 Hit-’N'-Run:
Guilty: Vitalija Vasciunaite, 22, student & basketball player, California Baptist University (which describes itself as “a top Baptist Bible college”) affiliated with the California Southern Baptist Convention, Riverside, California, of “maiming another person while driving intoxicated and felony hit and run. A native of Lithuania, she faces possible deportation and up to 15 years in prison when she is sentenced May 31.” Continues APB: “Vasciunaite, a 5-9 junior guard at California Baptist, told police she consumed seven beers before borrowing a car to drive to Harrisonburg, where she drank 10 beers at a party before making the hour-long return trip to the Charlottesville area. She first told police she didn’t remember hitting anything, but later said she recalled striking something but didn’t think it was serious enough to stop.” Turns out she had mowed down a Virginia highway worker. Her BAC five hours later was .15, “nearly twice the legal limit.” Story: Press-Enterprises, February 9, 2011; Associated Baptist Press, February 10, 2011
