WHITTIER CRASH: Driver who slammed into sheriff's academy recruits had fallen asleep at wheel, holds no ill feeling toward law enforcement, attorney says

The driver of an SUV that crashed into Los Angeles County law enforcement recruits on a training run last week fell asleep at the wheel while on his way to work, his attorney said.

"He's a good kid that fell asleep on his way to work early in the morning," she told Eyewitness News. The Sheriff's Department said the rest of the law-enforcement recruits have been released from the hospital.Authorities arrested Gutierrez, as investigators alleged he intentionally slammed into the group of about 75 law-enforcement recruits who were on a run as part of a training exercise. The academy class included sheriff's and other police agencies' recruits.

Hmm

Trump supporters pretending they don’t hate cops too 🤣

Did Paul Pelosi open his door?

Still negligent

Sounds like the leftist media is trying real hard to get this guy off the hook. Why not wait till all the facts come out during his trial? The media should be held accountable for spreading lies.

Lock him up. He got behind the wheel not fit to drive. He could’ve pulled over and taken a nap.

Is this the golden ticket now “I fell asleep” parents must know someone

He didn't fall asleep! That's a bunch of BS

Was he blood tested?

prison for life

Story has changed Again? 🙄

So he says!!!

There are 3 kinds of people in this. Extreme Pro-Cop’r’s, People that understand we need cops, and people that flat out hate cops. Wherever you fall on the issue, is what you’ll believe 🤷🏽‍♂️ proveit This is a highly subjective issue and incident.

Falling asleep at the wheel which everyone has done at one point while even myself but if you say you haven't then your fool of it. How many of you will drink and during now and Sunday evening.

Completely negligently regardless.

Wasn't his girlfriend in the car?

Hmm.

That doesn't excuse the fact

He barely remembered he fell asleep? Lol
