In an email to the clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, the Right Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton has identified the driver of the car involved in the fatal bicycle crash on Roland Avenue yesterday as Bishop Heather Elizabeth Cook, ordained in September to serve as Bishop Suffragan, the No. 2 spot in the diocese.
“I am distressed to announce that Bishop Heather E. Cook was involved in a traffic accident Saturday afternoon, Dec. 27, that resulted in the death of bicyclist Thomas Palermo, 41,” Bishop Sutton wrote today, noting that Cook did not sustain any injuries.
Bishop Sutton also confirmed reports that the driver at first left the scene of the accident, as police and witnesses have reported.
“Several news agencies have reported this as a ‘hit and run.’ Bishop Cook did leave the scene initially, but returned after about 20 minutes to take responsibility for her actions,” Sutton wrote, according to the text of the email obtained by The Brew.
Sutton also said that he has placed Cook on administrative leave, effective immediately, “because the nature of the accident could result in criminal charges.”
“Together with the Diocese of Maryland, I express my deep sorrow over the death of the cyclist and offer my condolences to the victim’s family,” Sutton wrote. “Please pray for Mr. Palermo, his family and Bishop Cook during this most difficult time.”

...and what did the breathalyzer show?
Hit and run, dead victim, this could hurt her image as a Bishop.
I did not know that one had been posted. I only found a linky for Baltimore Brew.
It appears the womyn is a heretic.
It appears she can’t drive.
What? There’s heresy possible among Piskeys?
Nah. It only reinforces her standing as a professional hypocrite, which ECUSA clergy specialize in.
After all, THAT is what matters most. /sarc
