| Jason Michael Cooper |
Cooper, who was 24 at the time, is the man police say drove drunk through police tape at a crime scene and slammed into a police cruiser while police tried to investigate a fatal shooting Jan. 19.
We reported yesterday that a jury convicted Ishmael Figueroa, of first-degree murder for his role in the shooting.
Cooper wasn't connected to the shooting, but he became a character in the subsequent investigation which made me wonder what happened to him.
A spokeswoman for the DA's office said a judge in March gave Cooper a suspended 365-day jail sentence and one-year of probation for his DUI. And he had to complete 48 hours of community service.
Police said at the time of Cooper's crash that it wasn't clear if Cooper's drunken journey through the crime tape hampered their investigation. Judging by the guilty verdict for Figueroa, it couldn't have hurt too much if at all.
