JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Only Action News Jax is hearing from the sisters of Tara Shaw, the woman Jacksonville Beach Police say died in a DUI motorcycle crash on the night of May 17th. <\/p>\n
Action News Jax told you last month<\/a> when Jax Beach police put out an arrest warrant<\/a> for Robin McAlarney, charging him with DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide and naming him as the driver of the motorcycle. At the time, Jax Beach PD told us they didn\u2019t know where McAlarney was and said they were only able to file charges against him more than five months after the crash because of how long the investigation took. <\/p>\n >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n But then Action News Jax learned on Monday that U.S. Marshals had arrested McAlarney in Philadelphia.<\/a> Tara Shaw\u2019s sisters said they\u2019ve been waiting most of this year for an arrest after her death. <\/p>\n \u201cIt was like a weight lifted off of my chest, and I got chills,\u201d said Amanda Gross, one of Shaw\u2019s sisters. <\/p>\n The incident report of the crash said that Shaw and McAlarney had met up with one another outside \u201cThe Tavern\u201d bar on 1st Street in Jacksonville Beach. The report said McAlarney had left his home with no notice after a fight with his girlfriend, and he took Shaw for a ride after seeing her standing outside of the bar. <\/p>\n Police believe McAlarney was driving the motorcycle 90 miles per hour down 3rd Street when officers said he swerved around a car making a left turn, then ran into the back of another car near the intersection of St. Augustine Boulevard. <\/p>\n \u201cHe was a very dangerous person that should have never been free to begin with,\u201d said Amber Gross, Shaw\u2019s other sister, who told us Shaw and McAlarney had been talking with one another for a few months leading up to the crash. <\/p>\n Shaw\u2019s sisters tell Action News Jax they had spoken with her not long before she had taken the ride that ended her life. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been really hard,\u201d Amber Gross said, \u201cshe\u2019s our sister, so we\u2019re never going to be the same. We just have to adjust to our new normal.\u201d <\/p>\n Jax Beach PD told us it is working on getting McAlarney extradited back to Duval County to face the charges against him in the deadly crash. Pennsylvania law says he could end up sitting in Philadelphia jail for the next 30 days while waiting on the state\u2019s governor to sign off on his transfer back to Florida. <\/p>\n Philadelphia court records show McAlarney is scheduled for a preliminary court hearing on December 12th. <\/p>\n Shaw\u2019s sisters said they\u2019re planning to travel from their home in Augusta, Georgia, to Jacksonville just to see McAlarney in court. <\/p>\n \u201cWe would like to tell the court and Robin McAlarney what he stole from us,\u201d Amanda Gross said. <\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Only Action News Jax is hearing from the sisters of Tara Shaw, the woman Jacksonville…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":425694,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[198215,198207,127811,198209,31472,5229,59618,12187,3188,723,46582,12869,30174,7310,30177,425,198213,2830,1311,198211,198208,198216,188370,198210,198214,198212,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-425693","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-_georgia","9":"tag-action_new_shacks","10":"tag-amanda","11":"tag-amanda_gross","12":"tag-amber","13":"tag-america","14":"tag-augusta","15":"tag-duval_county","16":"tag-fl","17":"tag-florida","18":"tag-jack_finn_carlin","19":"tag-jacks_beach","20":"tag-jacks_beach_police","21":"tag-jacksonville","22":"tag-jacksonville_beach_police_department","23":"tag-local","24":"tag-mcalarney","25":"tag-pennsylvania","26":"tag-philadelphia","27":"tag-robin_mcalarney","28":"tag-robin_mccarney","29":"tag-robin_mclarney","30":"tag-tara","31":"tag-tara_shaw","32":"tag-tarashaw","33":"tag-third_street","34":"tag-united-states","35":"tag-united-states-of-america","36":"tag-unitedstates","37":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","38":"tag-us","39":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425693\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/425694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
