Ruberg pleaded guilty to one count of homicide by vehicle in Grant County Circuit Court. Ruberg was charged in connection with a two-vehicle accident that occurred back on June 8th, 2023 near Cassville. Ruberg was traveling on Settlement Road and came to a rolling stop at a stop sign and she pulled in front of a vehicle operated by 52-year old Gerald Dukett of Cassville.
