A 20-year-old Detroit Lakes woman is charged with criminal vehicular homicide in connection with a crash last September that killed a man who was walking in Detroit Lakes.

According to the criminal complaint in the case, Mariska Nunn told investigators her phone was on her lap while she was viewing a TikTok video and that she did not see 81-year-old Dean Chadbourne walking on the road. A law enforcement analysis of Nunn’s phone revealed that she watched a TikTok video about one minute prior to calling 911 to report the crash.
