A former Layton police officer was sent to prison Tuesday for causing a DUI crash that killed a woman riding in his car in 2021.
SALT LAKE CITY — A former Layton police officer was sentenced Tuesday to a term of one and 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to killing a woman in his car while driving under the influence of alcohol.in the early morning of Sept. 14, 2021, while Samuel Andrew Rockwell, 28, was driving on Bangerter Highway. Worley was the mother of two young children.
McKelvie said prison will not bring Worley back, but it can accomplish something by giving Worley's family a sense of justice. Rockwell was driving about 116 mph when his car veered into other lanes, then hit and flipped over a concrete barrier before hitting a signpost, traffic light pole, fence and concrete platform, according to charging documents.
It pains me deeply that I allowed myself not to control my actions and myself, which led to the death of my friend and your loved one. And no matter what I do and say I can't go back and change that night.Worley's father, Richard Krulisky, said as a veteran Rockwell had incredible resources that he could have used to deal with his hard times, rather than resorting to alcohol.
"It pains me deeply that I allowed myself not to control my actions and myself, which led to the death of my friend and your loved one," he told the family. "And no matter what I do and say, I can't go back and change that night."; both Rockwell and a man in the passenger seat pointed to each other when asked who the driver was, charging documents say. The other man, who owned the car, was initially arrested.
