MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Waunakee woman has been sentenced to three years in prison for striking a pedestrian while driving drunk in Madison, leading to the person’s death.  Nicole Bruns pleaded no contest in October to homicide by drunken driving in the death of 21-year-old University of Wisconsin student Alexandra Ihm. Ihm died in March 2017 from a pulmonary embolism as she battled injuries she suffered when struck by Bruns’ car in Madison.  Authorities say Bruns’ blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit to drive.
