Shelly Battle was a resident of Spearfish Lake. Her father was George Battle, a member of the School Board.^SU14

Shelly was an incoming senior at Spearfish Lake High School in 2010 and the subject of gossip in the summer before school started when she caught her boyfriend, Eddie Awkerman, in bed with Vanessa Robideaux at a bootleg party at Alison DuQuoin's house.^BITH28

The next day Shelly was seen riding in Scotty Parsons's car "but they weren't snuggled up or anything"^BITH34

At the football team pre-practice beer party she slipped sleeping pills into a can of beer she gave to Vanessa Robideaux.^BOF18 She ensured Vanessa's subsequent behaviour was spread through the gossip channels.^BOF24 When she was arrested her father was convinced no jury would convict her and insisted she plead not guilty to the charge of 'minor in posession of alcohol'.^BOF23 When her trial came round in October she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 100 hours community service instead of the 50 hours those who pleaded guilty at the arraignment got. She was almost finished her community service when Frenchy LeDroit started his in March 2011.^OC10

Vanessa realised Shelly must have been the one to drug her and dropped a hint which made Shelly worry about every time she'd be around Vanessa and food.^BOF32

Shelly went to Meriwether College to be as far away from her father as she could.^SLH16
