The driver of an ATV in a fatal April crash was booked into the Polk County Jail on charges relating to the wreck, according to jail reports.

Kasey Green, 22, of 278 Jackson Chapel Road, Cave Spring, faces charges of operating an unregistered vehicle, second-degree homicide by vehicle, reckless conduct, no proof of insurance, marijuana possess of less than an ounce and failure to maintain lane.

The reckless conduct charge is a new charge from the original report, according to Georgia State Patrol (GSP) officials

The GSP had initiated the charges shortly after April 1 crash near Old Jackson Chapel Road which killed Keanua MacKenzie Chambers, 10, of Rome. However, Green wasn't initially arrested because she was recovering in the hospital.

Cpl. Eric Tallent, who was in charge of the case, said warrants were officially issued in early July and signed by a judge around July 12.

He said the process took time.

"We had a lot of things to look at," Tallent said. "Before I make the arrest, I wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. I wanted to check with the D.A. before making changes."

Green turned herself into Polk County Jail on July 22 Green was released on bond July 23, reports state.
