There wasn’t any liquor or drugs involved in the car crash that tragically took the life of Olivia S. Peters, but the cops still charged Everett with Involuntary Manslaughter because according to them he was speeding at the time of the crash.
Here is how the cops said it went down.
Washington Commanders safety Deshazor Everett has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of his girlfriend following a car crash two days before Christmas.
Everett appeared at the Loudoun County Magistrate’s Office on Tuesday and was released on a $10,000 bond, according to his attorney.
Everett was the driver of a 2010 Nissan GT-R that, according to a police report, left the right side of the roadway, struck several trees and rolled over on the night of Dec. 23. The passenger, Olivia S. Peters, 29, later died at a local hospital.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s department’s investigation determined that Everett was traveling “over twice the posted 45 mph speed limit just prior to the crash.”
In a statement, Everett’s attorney, Kaveh Noorishad, said: “Our team continues to investigate this matter as we intend on vigorously defending Mr. Everett against these allegations. We continue to ask that judgment be reserved until all facts are fully investigated and litigated in the proper form.”
Everett was in the hospital himself for three days recovering from his injuries.
As noted above his lawyer has stated he is going to fight the case and while acknowledging it was a tragic accident that is all it was an accident.
It took the cops a while to charge Everett because they were waiting on the toxicology reports to come back. Those came back clean as we spoke about above.
Everett was not under the influence at the time of the crash.
Thoughts and prayers go to the family of Peters.
