The son of a Village of Gilchrist couple remains free on bond after the death of a woman he met during a night of drinking at City Fire. Timothy Jacob Foxworth, 36, is facing charges of driving under the influence and hit and run following his arrest July 16 by Wildwood police. He had been drinking with his father at City Fire at Brownwood Paddock Square where he met 51-year-old Shelly Osterhout of Fort Myers.
Foxworth had been sipping on vodka and grapefruit when he told Osterhout he would take his father back to his home on Norwood Street. He said he would come back and continue drinking with her. Foxworth and his father got into the golf cart and the younger man returned a short time later. Shelly Osterout and Foxworth later left in the golf cart.
He headed toward Buena Vista Boulevard and made a sharp U-turn. Osterhout fell from the golf cart. Foxworth dragged her body into a flower bed and fled the scene, according to an arrest report. He later told police he had panicked.
He claimed he had a change of heart and was returning to help Osterhout, but police pointed out he had been heading in the wrong direction for that to be true. Osterhout suffered injuries to her head and was transported as a trauma alert to Ocala Regional Medical Center where she later died of injuries suffered in the accident.
Services for Osterhout are being held at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 29 at Next Level Church in Fort Myers.
