A Fayetteville woman has been charged with one misdemeanor count of vehicular

homicide for hitting a Jonesboro woman while exiting a gas station parking

lot in Fayetteville several months ago, police said.

Julianne G. Varner, 41, of 11798 Fairway Overlook, was driving a 2002 Ford

Windstar minivan out of the parking lot of the Crews BP gas station when

she hit Joyce Spratlin, 65, of 9951 Corinth Road the afternoon of May 27,

according to a report filed by the Fayetteville Police Department.

Varner was turing out of the gas station's parking lot onto Ga. Highway

85 when the van struck Spratlin, who was on foot, police said.

Spratlin died June 4 of injuries she suffered in the collision, police said.

Misdemeanor vehicular homicide charges are, by law, filed when police believe

the act was not intentional.
