Spokane woman suspected of killing a man while driving drunk caught tampering with alcohol bracelet

A Spokane woman suspected of killing a man while driving drunk on Interstate 90 in October 2015 was apparently caught tampering with her alcohol bracelet over the weekend.

Carrah Goble, 25, is out of jail after posting bond in April 2016 for a charge of vehicular homicide. Part of the conditions of her release are to wear a SCRAM Systems brand alcohol monitoring bracelet on her ankle, which she is “not to attempt to tamper with or alter,” court documents state.

But from 10:27 p.m. Friday to 8:43 a.m. Saturday, a SCRAM Systems report indicates that the bracelet’s infrared sensor recorded spikes in temperature from Goble’s baseline temperature, which indicates tampering was likely, court documents show.

Goble was arrested on Oct. 6, 2015 on suspicion of being drunk while driving her car westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-90 near Division Street, where she allegedly caused a five-car crash.

One driver, Ronald Morrison, was ejected from his car when it rolled, and died of his injuries two days later in Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Goble fled the scene to a 7-11 convenience store, where Washington State Patrol troopers said she showed “obvious signs of impairment, such as bloodshot and water eyes, slurred speech and admitted to drinking,” court documents state.

Her charges were amended from vehicular assault to vehicular homicide after Morrison died.

According to court documents, Goble told SCRAM Systems agents that she was “asleep at the time of the tamper,” but then called back and said that she was “at work during the time of the alert” and that “she hasn’t done anything out of the normal.”

Goble’s trial is set to begin on May 22.
