A Clarkston man charged in the drunken hit-and-run death of an 8-year-old Lewiston girl has pleaded innocent to two misdemeanor counts in Asotin County.

James Schuetze, 45, faces second-degree murder in Nez Perce County for running his van into a parked vehicle at a Third Avenue apartment complex in Lewiston May 5, killing Sydney Byrd. Schuetze left the scene and was arrested about 20 minutes later in Clarkston. Asotin County charges include driving with a suspended license and DUI, as his blood alcohol level was 0.126 at the time of his arrest. Schuetze’s next appearance in Asotin County is scheduled for June 11.

The court will soon address extradition to Nez Perce County, where Schuetze faces additional felony charges of aggravated battery for injuring another person during the crash, and leaving the scene of an injury collision.

A $1 million bond has been set in Nez Perce County.
