Detroit woman, who allegedly drove car through home, injuring young girl, arraigned in Circuit Court

Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that 21-year-old Caris Adell Wade was arraigned today before Judge Joseph Toia in the Macomb County Circuit Court on charges related to her allegedly driving her car after she drank alcohol and crashing the car through a Centerline home, injuring a young girl.

Wade was arraigned on the following charges:

• Reckless Driving Causing Serious Impairment Of A Body Function, a 5-year felony
• Failure To Stop At Scene Of Accident Resulting In Serious Impairment Or Death, a 5-year felony
• Operating with a High Blood Alcohol Count, a 180-day misdemeanor

The third charge of Operating with a High Blood Alcohol Count was added to Wade’s charges after toxicology results were obtained. 

On November 18, 2025, at a Probable Cause Conference before Judge Suzanne Faunce at the 37^th District Court in Warren, MI, Wade waived her right to a Preliminary Exam, thereby sending her case to the Macomb County Circuit Court.

It is alleged that on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 2:55 am, Wade, of Detroit, was willfully, wantonly, and recklessly driving her vehicle after she consumed alcohol. As a result of her driving, Wade crashed her vehicle directly into the bedroom of a Centerline residence. In the bedroom sleeping was a 9-year-old girl and her 22-month-old sister. The 9-year-old suffered serious bodily injuries. The 22-month-old was unharmed. After crashing into the home, Wade then fled the scene on foot but was later apprehended by the Warren Police. 

“The defendant’s alleged behavior created a dangerous situation that resulted in a young girl being injured and easily could have caused far greater harm. These charges reflect our responsibility to seek justice and the need to ensure accountability,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
