Woman charged in Madison hit-and-run death begins jail term for prior case

MADISON (WKOW) -- A jail term of more than a year and a half begins for a Dodgeville woman who's also charged in a Madison hit-and-run death.

State officials revoked probation for Tiambra Walker, 22, in connection with Walker's hit-and-run that caused two people injuries in an incident at Madison's Whole Foods in 2022. Court records show one of the victims had traumatic brain injuries.

Records say Walker drove over the two people after stealing a cell phone from one of them as they proposed selling it to her.

Walker's probation sentence in the case included 18 months in jail being put on hold. But state officials revoked the probation April 15 as Walker ignored probation requirements. Those requirements included attendance at meetings to understand the impact of the crimes on victims.

Walker must also serve three additional months in connection with a disorderly conduct conviction.

Walker is already in the Dane County Jail after her arrest last month in Peoria, Illinois. Until her arrest, Walker had been a fugitive after being charged with hit-and-run involving death and homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle in the Feb. 15, 2023 death of Madison's Stephen Fleck, 66. Authorities said Fleck and his dog were killed after being hit by Walker's car as they crossed Schroeder Road in a crosswalk.

Walker's bail in the deadly hit-and-run case is $300,000, but now cannot be posted until she completes her jail sentence for her previous crimes.

Body-worn-camera video of Walker's March arrest in Peoria, Il. shows Walker trying to get away from arresting officers twice. Walker was a passenger in a car believed connected to a theft in Peoria.

Walker faces additional charges in Illinois.

Walker's probation revocation by officials with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections comes days before Walker was due in court to address her absences from the probation-required meetings.
