The South Carolina woman accused of slamming her car into the back of a bride and groom’s golf cart on their wedding night, killing one and sending three people to a hospital, admitted to being an “alcoholic addict” in jailhouse phone recordings, according to a new report.
Deputies in Charleston, South Carolina, arrested Jamie Komoroski, 26, in April 2023, but she went free on $150,000 bond earlier this month after prosecutors failed to bring her to trial by a judge’s March 1 deadline.
Samantha Miller, the 34-year-old bride, died in the crash. Her groom, Aric Hutchinson, 36, her brother Benjamin Garrett and a juvenile relative were all seriously injured.

After drinking for hours in at least four bars, the New Jersey native allegedly got behind the wheel “in her nearly unconscious state,” made a wrong turn in the opposite direction of her home and rear-ended a golf cart “in the stupor of a drunken haze” while traveling more than 65 mph in a 25 mph zone.

She has been placed on house arrest with an ankle monitor.
She could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
