According to the complaint filed by the Ellis County Attorney’s office,  “Brittnie June Walker while under the influence of alcohol and /or drugs did unlawfully and unintentionally kill Schreurs in a reckless manner when she drove a car 25-45 miles per hour with Schreurs “surfing” (riding on top of) the vehicle and Schreurs fell off sustaining serious head and body injuries resulting in his death.”
