A woman accused of striking and killing a motorcyclist while high on methamphetamine has moved to Salem, Ore., according to court documents — a third instance of her violating the conditions of her release — and a warrant has been issued for her arrest.
Tanya M. Leffler, 35, was out on bail for the third time when police learned she had moved to Salem, which is outside of the area where she was restricted, and was there without permission of the court.
Both are violations of her release following posting bail in connection to the fatal crash.
According to court records, Leffler was driving under the influence when her car plowed into James Luden, 54, of Vancouver, who was stopped on his motorcycle at an intersection April 14, 2014.
Luden was pronounced dead at the scene.
She was arrested, then posted $75,000 bail and was released from jail in July 2014, court records show.
In late August this year, she was back in court on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine with the intent to sell, and on suspicion of growing marijuana, and a judge revoked her bail in the crash case and set bail at $200,000 total, according to court records.
Leffler posted bond again, but a few days later was back in court, this time for accusations she violated her release conditions by not properly reporting to corrections officials and not providing a valid address.
She was again booked, and her bail set at $300,000, according to court records, and she again posted bond and was released.
