Deputy Nicholas Clerico ran a red light going 85 mph while responding to a call and driving with lights and sirens when his car struck Garret's. She died from her injuries. Her son Mark McGowan retained a law firm. The family filed and settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the county for $2.5M and "Clerico in 2017 pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to 240 hours of community service. He was no longer with the sheriff's office by the time he accepted the plea agreement."
