Dakota County Deputy-in-Training turned Court Bailiff turned Criminal Defendant Convicted by Scott County Judge
Deputy Joshua J. Williams of Dakota County has been convicted of careless driving as a result of an incident that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. Scott County Chief Judge William Macklin issued his opinion after Williams waived his right to a jury trial. Careless driving is a misdemeanor in Minnesota and usually results in community work service as opposed to jail time. Ironically, Williams, now convicted, has been re-assigned as a court security officer as a result of the charge.
