Deputy Who Fatally Struck Cyclist While Answering Email Will Face No Charges

Frosty P writes The LA County District Attorney's Office declined to press charges against a sheriff's deputy who was apparently distracted by his mobile digital computer when he fatally struck cyclist and former Napster COO Milton Olin Jr. in Calabasas last December. The deputy was responding to routine work email when he drifted into the bike lane and struck and killed Mr. Olin. An official with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department said it is launching its own probe into the deputy’s behavior.

No. We get it. You're an idiot. Thanks for popping back to point it out to the world yet again though. Some people still haven't got the memo about you.
