CLAYTON, Mo. — An off-duty Missouri police officer who investigators said killed four people in a drunken driving accident has been charged in their deaths.
Prosecutors said 41-year-old Christine Miller was charged Tuesday with four counts of involuntary manslaughter-driving while intoxicated.
The veteran Sunset Hills police officer is accused of driving on the wrong side of a road early March 21 and slamming into another vehicle. The four passengers in the other car were from India and died instantly.
A prosecutor said Miller’s blood-alcohol level three hours after the wreck was 0.169 _ more than twice the legal limit.
Miller was still being booked late Tuesday afternoon and was unavailable for comment. It wasn’t clear whether she had an attorney.
