ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A former
police officer has been found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of careless
driving in a New Mexico wreck that killed a 21-year-old Nevada woman.
Albuquerque police Sgt. Adam
Casaus was found guilty by a jury on Tuesday, KRQE-TV reported.
Ashley Browder, a 2009 graduate
of Douglas High School in Minden, was killed in the February 2013 accident. Her
sister, Lindsay, was severely injured.
Casaus said he was trying to
catch up to a drunken driver when he ran a red light and slammed into an SUV
driven by Lindsay Browder.
But officials said records
showed no dispatchers told Casaus to look out for a drunken driver before the
crash.
Casaus faces a maximum of 90
days in jail when he’s sentenced Dec. 5.
Ashley Browder was a member of
an Air National Guard unit in Reno.
