Julie Willis Charged in Hit-and-Run | Louisville News

Fifty-two-year-old Julie Willis is charged with multiple felonies—including hit-and-run, insurance fraud, and tampering with evidence—after allegedly fleeing the scene of a crash that seriously injured 18-year-old Kingston Maestas. The white Jeep she drove, later reported stolen, was involved in the collision around 11:30 PM near Dixie Highway. Willis reportedly told her boyfriend to file the theft report, claiming she panicked after hitting a motorcycle. Councilwoman Crystal Bast, who’s championing Maestas’ recovery, praised community support. Willis remains jailed and faces arraignment on August 20th as Maestas begins his long road to healing.
