So much for stiffer penalties on Stupid drivers.

Former Deputy Sentenced For Careless Driving
SHAKOPEE, Minn. (AP) ―
A former Dakota County sheriff's deputy is sentenced to 40 hours of community service for careless driving that killed a motorcyclist.

In August, 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.

Williams joined the sheriff's department in February 2005 and was in the final phase of his field training at the time of the crash in Empire Township.

Williams apologized to Wallace's family when he was sentenced on Tuesday, saying, "I cannot tell you how sorry I am for what happened."

A Scott County District judge also sentenced Williams to pay a $380 fine. He will spend his community service talking to new drivers and law enforcement recruits.

Williams driver's license is also suspended for a year.

The Hennepin County attorney's office handled the case because Dakota County prosecutors had a conflict of interest.
