Involuntary homicide charges for firefighters – Newstalk KZRG

A man of Carl Junction was charged with Involuntary homicide 1. degree After the death of a area of ​​firefighter last October.

28-year-old Brant Cullen is accused of ruthlessly driving a golf car, which his employee, 21-year-old Tucker Berry von Lockwood, was on the back.

Witnesses told the police that Cullen and another man, Kreg Myers, ran and accelerated in the district of Briarbrook by Carl Junction, when Berry fell from the back of the golf car. Berry then hit his head on the sidewalk and died of his injuries.

The public prosecutor also claims that Cullen consumed alcohol in the afternoon and could not drive responsibly.

Carl Junction officers say when they were informed about the type of incident, an officer tried to contact Cullen in the hospital where they had been taken, but Cullen was not there.

Officers then tried to contact Cullen in his house and there was no answer. When Cullen was contacted the next day, he called his right to a lawyer.

A month later, the prosecutors had said that they were not charged against Cullen, but that has changed since then.

This comes three months after Berry's parents had submitted an illegal complaint against Cullen and Myers.
