Officer killed driver fined 310 dollars
ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — The Howard County State's Attorney's Office says a driver who struck and killed a county police officer last year has paid her traffic fines.
Prosecutors say Stephanie Grissom of Columbia paid $310 in fines for speeding and negligent driving. She also received three points on her driving record.
In March, a county grand jury declined to indict Grissom on automobile manslaughter charges.
Police say Grissom was driving 71 mph in a 55-mph zone on Route 32 when she struck Officer Scott Wheeler. The officer was working a speed enforcement detail and had stepped into the road to flag Grissom down when he was struck.
I am really wondering if the cops family will look into a civil lawsuit?http://www.allpoetry.com/Grunts%20Girl
We dallied under
Vine maples and sapling alders
Searched for lady slippers
But instead
Found blackberry riots and
Desiccated branches
An old skid road
Brought ghost ferns and
Hollows filled with
Skunk cabbage
While waves wrapped
Intricate lacings of weeds
'Round mule spinners
His cyanotic eyes
Were hard enough to make
The sun turn tail and
Tender enough to attract me
To his world of illusion

If I was the cops family, I'd have already gotten that action started.

People still step out into traffic to flag down cars on the freeway?

I had a MN trooper do it to me a few years ago, in a 70 mph zone on the interstate. Originally Posted by maclean

Regardless, had this situation been reversed (let's say she was trying to flag him down as a motorist assist, and he struck her while speeding 16mph over the limit), the cop would have been fucking FRIED. This is bullshit. People need to fucking pay attention! Whether it's cops, construction flagmen, just plain old pedestrians. Ugh!
RIP and prayers to the copper's family.

Willie Nelson said it best "big tall tree and a short piece of rope". I guess now we know what are lives are worth to the Government.
