On Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026, Alexia M. Glass, 27, from Mays Landing, NJ, pleaded guilty to six indictable offenses and one disorderly persons offense across three separate criminal matters. The recommended global sentence is 15 years in New Jersey State Prison with an 85% period of parole ineligibility under the No Early Release Act.
The first case stems from the fatal motor vehicle collision on March 28, 2024, in Hamilton Township involving victims Yolanda Pacheco, 22 at the time of death, from Mount Holly, NJ, and Jenalise Sierra-Valentin, 30, of Egg Harbor City, NJ. Glass was operating her vehicle at excessive speed and under the influence when she crashed into Pacheco’s vehicle, resulting in Pacheco’s death and injury to Sierra-Valentin. Glass pleaded guilty to first-degree Aggravated Manslaughter, second-degree Aggravated Assault, third-degree Joyriding, and fourth-degree Criminal Mischief.
The associated second offense DUI motor vehicle charge will be entered at the time of sentencing. The case was investigated by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office’s Fatal Crash Investigation Unit with cooperation from the New Jersey State Police. The second case involved an incident from April 22, 2022 in Pleasantville where Glass operated a vehicle while intoxicated with her two-month-old child in the back seat. Glass pleaded guilty to second-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child and to a disorderly persons offense of DUI with a Minor.
The first offense DUI motor vehicle ticket will also be entered at sentencing. The case was investigated by the Pleasantville Police Department. The third case arises from a Dec. 2, 2020, eluding incident. Glass, while operating a motor vehicle, failed to stop for law enforcement despite receiving a signal to do so. She pleaded guilty to third-degree Eluding. The case was investigated by the Hamilton Township Police Department.
Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 1, 2026.
The cases are being prosecuted by Chief Assistant Prosecutor Edmund Mallqui-Burgos of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office.
