Woman with 100 prior arrests faces judge after crash that killed Grammy-nominated musician

Hopkinton police said the 70-year-old pedestrian Macleod was walking his dogs on the shoulder Saturday, Dec. 6, when he was hit by a car and later died in hospital.
Police said Shannon Godbout, 41, left the roadway and struck several objects, including two telephone poles, and officers found alleged narcotics and packaging materials at the scene.
Authorities said the driver has a long history of arrests and outstanding warrants, including more than 100 arrests, roughly 40 traffic citations, and dozens of court warrants, Hopkinton Police Chief Mark Carrier noted.
Godbout was ordered held without bail and the matter shifted to Superior Court due to her extensive criminal record, including more than 100 arrests and multiple felony charges.
In recent years, MacLeod, 70, musician and teacher with a 50-year career, was honored by fans and colleagues online after his death while Godbout stayed at least two days in hospital after arrest.
