An Illegal immigrant has been found guilty of a DUI crash that resulted in the death of a state trooper.
On Tuesday, a Snohomish County jury found Raul Benitez-Santana, 33, guilty of vehicular assault and vehicular homicide — in connection with the death of Washington State Patrol Trooper Christopher Gadd.
In March 2024, Gadd, 27, was driving in his cruiser when he was hit by a speeding car going over 100 mph
...
Benitez-Santana was under the influence at the time of the crash. He admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana before jumping in his vehicle.
Benitez-Santana had reportedly swerved across the road before colliding into the back end of Gadd’s police car, which was parked on the shoulder. The 27-year-old police officer had been looking for speeding drivers at the time when he was hit, and he died in what became a “three-vehicle accident” on Interstate 5.
Following his arrest, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) filed a detainer request with Snohomish County Jail for Benitez-Santana, a Mexican national.
On October 28, 2013, Benitez-Santana was first encountered by immigration agents after being arrested for failing to appear in court after driving with a suspended license.
Then, in May 2013, he was also sentenced to 90 days in prison, 87 of which were suspended, after being found in possession of marijuana.
