The crash happened back in 2018, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy was sentenced to probation for a hit-and-run crash that happened while he was off-duty back in 2018. Orlando Sotomayor Flores, 42, was sentenced to two years of probation, a three-month DUI program and was ordered to surrender his Peace Officer Standards and Training certification on Monday. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution to the victim of the crash.
The crash caused the victim's care to roll multiple times before it collided with another vehicle. Instead of staying at the scene, Flores fled for several hours before surrendering to law enforcement at around 4 a.m. the next day. The charges included one felony count of reckless driving involving alcohol causing injury and one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run causing injury, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.
