BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A trooper with Louisiana State Police is out of a job, after leaving the scene of a crash with another man.

Louisiana State Police dismissed ex-trooper Justin Chiasson effective Jan. 6. The agency cites policy violations, including conduct unbecoming, lawful orders, false statements, and employee responsibilities.

Chiasson and a man named Bryan Nolan were joyriding on Bayou Magazille in July. Nolan was behind the wheel when their boat collided with another around 9 p.m.

Nolan left the scene with Chiasson without phoning for help. The two were later stopped together in Assumption Parish.

Wildlife agents charged Nolan with first-degree vehicular negligent injury, careless operation of a vessel, operating or driving a vessel while impaired (DWI), and hit and run involving a vessel.

Colorado Cop Who Left Handcuffed Woman To Be Hit By Train Given Probation And Community Service​


Jordan Steinke, the former Colorado police officer who left a handcuffed suspect in her patrol vehicle, which was later hit by a train, was found guilty of reckless endangerment and assault. She won’t, however, receive any jail time. The Denver Post reports that instead, she has been sentenced to 30 months of probation and given 100 hours of community service. She was also acquitted of attempted criminally negligent homicide.

Due to the third-degree assault conviction, Steinke’s Peace Officer Standards and Training certification is expected to be revoked. “Decertification, which we anticipate, means she will never be a police officer ever again,” her lawyer said in a statement. Cue an even smaller version of the world’s smallest violin.
Weld County District Court Judge Timothy Kerns said on Friday that he had originally planned to sentence Steinke to jail time to “send a message to law enforcement that police officers will be held accountable for misconduct,” but changed his mind when both the prosecution and defense requested probation instead.
“Someone is going to hear this and say, ‘Another officer gets off,’” Kerns said. “That’s not the facts of this case. And the court is framing a sentence that hopefully will ensure we can have some meaningful educational component. If there is a violation, Ms. Steinke, I will harken back to my original gut response as to how to address sentencing. I want to be clear about that.”

The victim, Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, somehow survived the crash, but according to her lawyer, she still suffers from a head injury and other physical injuries. He added that the crash had caused her to lose confidence in the judicial system but also left her unsure of what Steinke’s punishment should be.
“The conflict that she feels is one where every day she has to feel this pain,” he said in a statement. “And she’s had to deal with (doctor) appointments and having her life so radically changed. And feeling upset, very upset about that — angry about that — but on the other hand, feeling for Ms. Steinke, and, I think, truly empathetically feeling sorry for how she has lost her career.”

Personal Electronic Device Use​

Washington's more specific distracted driving law prohibits driving on a public highway while using a "personal electronic device."

Driving. For purposes of the personal-electronic-device-use law, the definition of "driving" isn't limited to having a vehicle actually in motion—it also includes momentary stops such as when a driver is waiting in traffic or at a red light. However, it's okay for a driver to use an electronic device after pulling over to a safe spot at the side of or off the road.

Personal electronic device. The statute defines "personal electronic device" as any portable electronic device capable of wireless communication or electronic data retrieval, including cellphones, tablets, laptops, two-way messaging devices, and video games. The definition, however, doesn't include devices manufactured primarily for hands-free operation or two-way radios.

Device Use. Washington has an expansive definition of "use." For purposes of the personal-electronic-device-use law, "use" means:

  • holding a device in either or both hands
  • using a hand or finger to compose, send, read, view, access, browse, transmit, save, or retrieve an email, text message, instant message, photograph, or any other electronic data (not including minimal use of a finger to activate, deactivate, or initiate a function of the device), and
  • watching video on a device.
Exceptions. Washington's electronic-device-use ban has several exceptions. The law doesn't apply to:

  • a driver using a device to contact emergency services
  • a person operating an emergency vehicle
  • a transit systems employee using a device to transmit time-sensitive information to a transit dispatcher, or
  • certain commercial drivers who are authorized by federal law to use an electronic device while driving.
Penalties. Unlawful electronic device use while driving is a traffic infraction. For a first electronic-device-use violation, a driver is looking at a $48 base fine. A second or subsequent offense carries a $96 base fine. However, assessments and fees are added to the base fine and will significantly increase the amount a convicted driver actually pays for a violation.

Distracted Driving​

Washington's more general distracted driving law prohibits driving while "dangerously distracted." A driver is considered "dangerously distracted" if engaged in an activity—not related to the operation of the vehicle—that interferes with the driver's ability to operate the vehicle safely.

Enforcement. Distracted driving is a secondary traffic infraction—meaning law enforcement can't stop a motorist for distracted driving unless there's an independent reason for doing so. In other words, the officer must have reason to believe the motorist has committed some other traffic violation such as speeding or running a red light—distracted driving alone can't be the basis for the stop.

Penalties. The base fine for distracted driving is $30. But with fees and assessments, the amount a driver pays may be close to $100.
