The driver of a Honda Accord that fatally struck an FBI agent and a fire investigator on the side of a Maryland highway has paid a $280 fine, concluding a case of negligent driving lodged against him.
Roberto Garza Palacios, 28, did not have to appear in court and did not receive jail time, according to court records and lawyers involved in the case, which ended with the June 25 payment.
The outcome reflected what prosecutors had concluded about Garza Palacios’s driving the night of Dec. 8 and how state laws could be applied.
While he drove in a “careless and imprudent manner,” prosecutors found, his actions did not rise to a “gross deviation” from careful driving or a “reckless disregard” for human life — the conditions needed to support more-serious charges.

Not only that he is an Illegal Alien!
That scumbag should get a few years on a chain gang before getting kicked out.
If Montgomery County had held him for ICE as they should have these two men might still be alive.
Well from what I have seen lately from the FBI, he really didn't cause much of a loss.
