KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - A Florida woman received a 10-year sentence for killing an off-duty police officer and injuring another in a drunken driving accident.
Lacey Morris pleaded no contest Friday in Key West to for the 2017 death of 40-year-old Christine Braswell and for injuring 25-year-old Bernenda Mac, both Delray Beach police officers.
Police said Morris’ blood-alcohol levels were twice the legal limit and she had a marijuana cigarette in her car when she turned in front of a scooter carrying Braswell and Mac two years ago, causing them to crash on a Key West street. Braswell died of her injuries, while Mac survived severe head and internal injuries.
