Why did my first accident have to be a cop? Drunk driver, 32, whined that she didn t deserve to be arrested after killing NYPD officer in hit-and-run, prosecutors say as she appears in court to face 13-count indictment for vehicular manslaughter
Jessica Beauvais, 32, was arraigned in Queens Supreme Court on Tuesday on a 13-count indictment in connection with a fatal hit-and-run of an NYPD cop
She faces up to 15 years in prison
Beauvais allegedly ran over Officer Anastasios Tsakos, 43, on the Long Island Expressway while driving drunk and sped off
Prosecutors described how Beauvais allegedly whined: Why did my first accident have to be a cop? as she sat in the back of a squad car after her arrest
She allegedly did not stop or slow down after striking Tsakos and continued to travel several exits before taking the Horace Harding Expressway off-ramp. That’s when her vehicle jumped the curb and mounted the sidewalk, where police
surrounded her vehicle. Beauvais allegedly tried to flee the scene again, putting her car in reverse and ramming the police vehicle behind her once before stopping.
Beauvais was then taken into custody. Police say she admitted drinking and smoking pot before getting behind the wheel that late April morning. A tearful Beauvais apologized shortly after her arrest as she was led from a police station in handcuffs, telling reporters, “I’m sorry because I hit him and that he’s dead.”

Decker s Nursery in Greenlawn became the target of a social media backlash this week. (Google maps)
GREENLAWN, NY Conrad Decker, the owner of Decker s Nursery in Greenlawn, has issued a public statement in the wake of controversy this week. Decker originally declined to allow the Greenlawn Fire Department to use the nursery s parking lot to place a flag arch for fallen NYPD officer Anastasios Tsakos funeral, which was held Tuesday.
Tsakos, of East Northport, was killed by a drunken driver on April 27. The Greenlawn Fire Department reportedly asked Decker s Nursery for the use of the parking lot for the funeral, and Decker s initial refusal triggered a social media backlash.
