Arrest Affidavit Details High-Speed Hit-and-Run That Killed ‘Walking Dead’ Crew Veteran Amy Blanc Lacy

Police cite video and airbag data as they question the suspect’s seizure claim.

Overview

  • Buck Rollins, 31, surrendered to Atlanta police and faces charges including first-degree vehicular homicide, hit-and-run, reckless driving, and speeding, and he was released on a $70,000 bond.
  • The Sept. 1 collision at Northside Parkway NW and Mount Paran Road NW involved Rollins’ Hyundai Elantra striking a Toyota Prius carrying Lacy and her two adult sons; Lacy, 62, died on Sept. 5 after life support was withdrawn.
  • An arrest affidavit reports Rollins was traveling about 90–91 mph in a 45 mph zone and drove over a curb, launching his car into the Prius.
  • Investigators say video shows Rollins removing golf clubs and walking away from his parked vehicle, and airbag-module data indicates braking began 2.5 seconds before impact.
  • Lacy’s sons were treated and discharged, a memorial and eco-friendly burial were held Sept. 10, and an active GoFundMe includes a message from her children thanking donors for support as the investigation continues.
