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.
