Former Dallas Police Association President Jaime Castro pleaded guilty to making a false statement about a fatal crash, which killed 25-year-old Atianna Washington. Castro initially claimed his girlfriend was driving, but later admitted he was behind the wheel. He was retired from the Dallas Police Department when the incident occurred. Two responding officers were placed on leave for not administering drug and alcohol tests, as they saw no signs of impairment. As part of the plea deal, Castro will give up his peace officer license, take DWI classes, pay a fine, and complete one year of deferred probation. Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot noted the initial scene work was lacking and praised the new police chief for handling the matter, but some questions about other possible crimes may remain unanswered.
