Body cam video shows woman grinning minutes after killing 2 people in drunken smash-up​

Chilling bodycam footage released over the weekend shows an Illinois woman grinning and giggling during a field sobriety test mere minutes after she fatally mowed down two people in a drunken smash-up.

Stephanie Melgoza could be seen in the clip published by Law & Crime on Sunday being confronted by authorities after she struck and killed Andrea Rosewicz, 43, and Paul Prowant, 55, outside the Full Throttle bar in East Peoria.

The video shows Melgoza, who was three times over the legal blood-alcohol limit, smiling goofily and chuckling to herself as she struggles to follow a police officer’s instructions.

“I told you, it’s hard,” she protests as the officer tries to help her follow a light with her eyes at the scene of the April 10, 2022 crash.

“I’d rather do [the walking test],” she continues.

Melgoza, of Farmington, told the responding officers that she had three vodkas before driving, 25 News said. One officer noted that she smelled strongly of alcohol and exhibited slurred speech and red eyes.

Melgoza failed all the field sobriety tests.

In bodycam footage from OSF St. Francis Hospital shortly after the crash, Melgoza – who was then a 23-year-old student at Bradley University – appears similarly oblivious to the seriousness of incident.
