Former Erie Police Officer convicted of all charges in a fatal crash will spend at least the next three years behind bars.

Cheryl Frey, 47, was sentenced to serve 36 to 72 months in prison by Judge William Cunningham Wednesday morning.

Frey was convicted June 18 on charges including homicide by vehicle while DUI, aggravated assault while DUI, involuntary manslaughter and driving under the influence.

Frey’s blood alcohol content was nearly triple the legal level when she caused the crash that killed Wade Schulze, 57, on Feb. 18, 2017, according to prosecutors.

During the trial, Erie County Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Lightner played surveillance video that was taken the St. Francis Ushers Club and the Valley Inn, which showed Frey consuming 13 drinks over a five-hour span before the crash.

Based on evidence collected at the scene, State Police said Frey was driving 57 miles per hour when she crossed the centerline and crashed into Schulze on Route 99 in McKean Township.

Frey originally pleaded guilty to charges of homicide by vehicle while DUI and DUI but decided to withdraw the plea in March on the same day she was set to be sentenced.

Frey had been an Erie Police Officer since 2008 and was off-duty at the time of the crash.
