No Criminal Charges For Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy Involved In Deadly Crash

A sheriff’s deputy who fell asleep at the wheel of a patrol vehicle near the Vermont border and slammed into another car head-on, killing the other driver, will not face criminal charges, New York’s attorney general said Thursday. Susan Harrington, 72, was killed at about 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 19, 2019 in Argyle, New York, when a patrol SUV driven by Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy Cori Winch crossed the center line and crashed into her car. Winch, who was finishing an overnight shift that he did not normally work, fractured his ankle and was hospitalized, according to state investigators.
