STAMFORD, N.Y. (AP) — A Maui woman who was accused of killing her twin sister after their vehicle plunged off a Maui cliff was arrested in upstate New York on drunken driving charges.
Alexandria Duval was arrested Monday in the Village of Stamford in Delaware County, according to state police. She has family in upstate New York. Police said she was pulled over after almost striking a vehicle operated by a state police investigator.
Her blood alcohol content was 0.26, more than three times the legal limit, police said. She was ordered detained on $5,000 cash bail after her arraignment in Stamford.
The 37-year-old sisters were in a Ford Explorer traveling on Hana Highway in May when they crashed into a rock wall, plunging about 200 feet onto a rocky shoreline during what was described as a hair-pulling fight over the steering wheel.
Anastasia Duval was killed and Alexandria Duval was arrested and jailed on a second-degree murder charge, accused of deliberately causing her sister’s death. A judge later ordered Alexandria’s release after determining there was no probable cause for a murder charge. Prosecutors in Hawaii said they planned to see what other evidence they could find to further their investigation.
The twins ran two popular Twin Power studios in Palm Beach County, Fla., from 2008-14 before they changed their names from Alison and Ann Dadow.
Alexandria Duval is due in court Aug. 23 in Stamford.
