Fmr. Sheriff's Deputy Guilty Of Careless Driving

SHAKOPEE, Minn. (AP) ― A former Dakota County deputy has been found guilty of careless driving in the death of a motorcyclist.
  
Joshua Williams took a left-hand turn from the right-turn lane of Minnesota Highway 3 and hit 58-year-old Bill Wallace of Farmington in August.
  
Scott County District Judge William Macklin this week found Williams guilty of misdemeanor careless driving. Williams faces up to a $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail, though it's unlikely he'll serve any significant jail time.
  
Williams' attorney Frederic Bruno says his client is deeply sorry.
  
Wallace's sister wants the judge to suspend Williams' driver's license for a year, put him on supervised probation and bar him from serving as a law enforcement officer in Dakota County.
  
Williams will be sentenced May 13 in Shakopee.
