Killer Drove onto the Sidewalk

At twice the allowed blood-alcohol level, Ms. Stearns was a threat to life and property.

Dana Point –  Seems like all the recent cases of negligence through the DA’s office have  female perps who are either drunk or drugged at the time of impact.

This one, going back to 2007, involves Michelle Stearns, 30, who like Miller (below) was drunk when she lost control of her BMW and drove unto the sidewalk, took out a power pole, signal control box, and Jose Barranco-Patino. Patino was riding home from work on the sidewalk along Del Obispo when he was killed.

Last week Stearns offered an open guilty plea to gross vehicular manslaughter, which means she goes straight to sentencing with no stipulation from the DA or judge as to what here sentence will be.

She is scheduled to appear in court June 15 and OCBC will be there.
