A Baltimore County judge sentenced a former Baltimore County Police officer to 18 months in jail for fatally striking two pedestrians with his motorcycle while off duty.
Circuit Court Judge Michael Barranco found William Collazo Brown guilty in May of criminally negligent manslaughter, a misdemeanor, after a three-day bench trial. Brown was also convicted of driving under the influence, homicide with a motor vehicle, and negligently operating a vehicle under the influence.
On July 7, Barranco sentenced Brown to five years of incarceration at the Baltimore County Detention Center with all but 18 months suspended. After his release, he will spend three years on probation, with the first 18 months under home detention.
