A 33-year-old St. Clair Shores woman has been found guilty on all charges in a drunk driving crash.
Shanara Reed was involved in a head-on collision on June 25, 2020, in Chesterfield Township, where she was deemed at fault for hitting a family of three.

Despite initially providing false information to the police, claiming someone else was driving, the 33-year-old was later arrested for the collision following an investigation.
Reed was charged with operating while intoxicated, causing serious impairment (Five-year felony), driving while license suspended, causing serious impairment (Five-year felony), moving violation causing serious impairment (93-day misdemeanor), and lying to a police officer (Two-year high court misdemeanor).
The 33-year-old was sentenced to assessed fines and costs along with:
- Count One: Operating While Intoxicated Causing Death - 50-120 months in the MDOC
- Count Two: Driving While License Suspended Causing Serious Impairment - 50-120 months in the MDOC
- Count Three: Moving Violation Causing Serious Impairment - 93 days in Macomb County Jail
- Count Four: Lying to a Police Officer - 365 days in Macomb County Jail
“This 2020 case was delayed primarily due to the defendant’s repeated changes in legal representation and numerous evidentiary motions,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. “Delaying a case does not deter our commitment to prosecuting and ensuring justice. The defendant has now been sentenced for her crimes, highlighting the accountability inherent in our legal system.”
