She Went On A Sushi Date With A Guy Who Confessed That He's Into Money Laundering And Working With The Cartel

Lynlee Pollis was driving drunk on September 24, 2023, when she ran a red light and crashed into a car, ultimately killing 19-year-old Honor Elizabeth Wallace, a college student in her sophomore year at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

Additionally, Honor's friend Catherin Solberg, nicknamed CeCe, was gravely injured as Lynlee hit the car the two girls were both in, speeding into them at 70 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone.

Honor was sadly pronounced dead at a hospital, and CeCe was left with a traumatic brain injury and a broken collarbone. Lynlee got a bump on her head and a fractured ankle.

According to her obituary, Honor was passionate about learning and really shone when it came to languages. She was excited about her upcoming semester abroad to further her skills, and planned on going to law school after graduating. Her sister was her best friend.

After Lynlee was taken to the hospital, detectives stated that she smelled of alcohol, was slurring her speech, and had glassy eyes.

An arrest warrant affidavit read that Lynlee admitted to consuming a margarita with tequila shots and was on her way home from a dog park and bar with her husky, named Tequila, named after what Lynlee said is "the best drink in the world."

Lynlee's blood alcohol concentration was close to four times the legal limit: .294. She was convicted of intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter following a two and a half week trial.

A friend of Honor and CeCe, Haley Keller, testified to how horrific it was to see CeCe in a hospital bed, with a neck brace coated in Honor's blood.

"I couldn't get the sight of all that blood out of my mind. Whenever I looked, I saw Honor's blood all over CeCe," Haley recalled.

Lynlee was sentenced to 7 years in prison, but that's not it; the judge handed her quite an unusual sentence. After she's released, she will have to serve a decade of probation and spend 15 days in jail annually.

Those 15 days will include the date of the car accident, her own birthday, the birthdays of Honor and CeCe, and Christmas.

Lynlee's defense attorney, Scott Palmer, stated in his closing argument that "she is a good person who made a terrible decision," and that she will have to live with what she did for the remainder of her life.
