A Vancleave woman has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to causing a drunken-driving crash that killed a man on Biloxi’s Popps Ferry Bridge. Judge Randi P. Mueller sentenced her to 25 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, with 12 years suspended, leaving 13 years to serve. According to Assistant District Attorney Mara Joffe, who prosecuted the case, the crash occurred around 8:38 p.m. on July 20, 2025. Prosecutors said the impact was so severe that Ricco’s vehicle was pushed onto the concrete barrier of the bridge. According to prosecutors, Posey remembered drinking but said she could not recall driving that evening or the crash itself.
