Troy teenager sentenced for fatal Lincoln County DUI crash in 2023
ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. — A Troy teenager convicted in a fatal drunk driving accident in Lincoln County appeared in court on Monday after allegedly tampering with her alcohol monitor and violating the terms of her probation.
Prosecutors filed to revoke Hailey Zenk's, 19, probation in December after she tampered with her alcohol monitor. Judge Michael Fagras revoked her probation on Monday and sentenced Zenk to seven years in prison.
Lincoln County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Wood said there were two instances of tampering with the device, which monitors alcohol levels in someone's body by being in contact with the person's skin.

Zenk was taken into custody at the St. Charles County Justice Center for a short amount of time before being released on a $20,000 cash-only bond.
Part of the bond agreement states she will wear another SCRAM bracelet and is only allowed to travel for church, treatments, or at the discretion of her probation officer, according to court documents.
The drunk driving crash happened back in Feb. 2023 in Lincoln County. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said a 2008 Ford Focus was driving north when it briefly flew into the air, skidded off the road, hit a tree, and flipped over.
William Flickinger, 18, Emily McNees, 17, and Kaeden Tyler, 15, were pronounced dead at the scene. Zenk, who was 17 at the time, and another person in the car survived.
Zenk took an Alford plea in the case in June, but she was only sentenced to 120 days of shock time in jail. The judge in the case, Michael Fagras, called the sentence justice with tempered mercy. Zenk tearfully apologized in court back in June.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
