An off-duty Los Angeles police officer is suspected of driving drunk and causing a three-car crash on the 605 Freeway on Tuesday night, killing a Riverside couple and their son when they could not exit their burning car.

The suspect, 26-year-old Edgar Omar Verduzco of Santa Ana, suffered a broken nose.

Verduzco was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence and gross vehicular manslaughter, according to California Highway Patrol Sgt. Armando Perdomo. The CHP is handling the criminal investigation.

CHP Officer Al Perez said Verduzco appeared to have been drinking. He identified Verduzco as an LAPD officer.

Perez said a couple and their teenage son died in the 10:15 p.m. crash on the southbound 605 Freeway, south of Saragosa Street, in the unincorporated community of  West Whittier.

But Riverside Unified School District officials identified the young man killed as an employee, as well as a former student, of the district.

“It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that one of the victims of that crash was a graduate of John W. North High School and was serving as an RUSD employee before the accident, tutoring AVID students at his alma mater,” RUSD spokesman Justin Grayson said in a written statement. “Sadly, the two other victims of the crash were the parents of that former student.”

Grief counselors were sent to North High School as soon as officials learned of the former student’s death, Grayson said.

“On behalf of the RUSD Board of Education, our superintendent, and the entire RUSD family, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims of this tragedy. There will always be an unfillable void left in our hearts when we lose a beloved member of our RUSD team,” he said.

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck spoke at a press conference Wednesday. “My heart goes out to the victims and the families. And I cannot tell you how angry and disappointed I am that a Los Angeles police officer would disregard the law and cause an accident with such awful, awful consequences.”

Beck said the department takes alcohol abuse, particularly driving under the influence, very seriously. The LAPD has opened an administrative investigation.

Josh Rubenstein, a spokesman for the LAPD, said Verduzco worked the front desk at Central Division in downtown Los Angeles.

Beck described Verduzco’s two years with the LAPD as unremarkable. Before joining the department, he said Verduzco served in the U.S. Army for almost four years. including in Afghanistan.

Beck said he believed the officer was on his day off Tuesday.

CHP Officer Gersain Chavez said in a statement that Verduzco was driving his 2016 Chevy Camaro and speeding in the carpool lane of the southbound 605 Freeway Tuesday night. He said the Camaro rear-ended a Nissan in the No. 1 lane and a Scion in the No. 2 lane.

Chief Beck Statement Regarding Fatal Freeway Crash of DUI Officer Killing Family of Three

LA Police Chief Charlie Beck

Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department has learned that one of its off-duty police officers was involved in a traffic accident on the 605 Freeway late last night, that resulted in the tragic death of three people. According to the California Highway Patrol, who is investigating the crash, our officer was arrested for suspicion of DUI. The Department sends its deepest sympathies to the families of the victims in this horrific collision. The LAPD has initiated an administrative investigation and will work with the CHP as they continue their investigation, however, the Department has no tolerance for driving under the influence and holds its officers to the highest standards of professionalism both on and off-duty. The LAPD understands the significant danger innocent drivers face when any person gets behind the wheel while they are impaired, which is why we conduct random sobriety checks throughout the City. It is particularly troubling when one of our own police officers violates drunk driving laws, which is why a drunk driving offense always results in a personnel complaint which can lead to dismissal. In instances where nobody has been injured, employees often receive suspension days and employees sign a contract in which an individual will submit to randomized testing, treatment programs, and abstinence from alcohol as a condition of continued employment.

Circuit Court Judge Paula Brownhill has set Barnett’s bail at $500,000. She is scheduled to appear in court again next week. If convicted on all charges, she faces a minimum of 16 years in prison.

Barnett’s father is former Seaside Police Lt. Steve Barnett, who unsuccessfully ran for county sheriff in 2012 and retired last year. Barnett, a veteran police officer, had filed a federal lawsuit against District Attorney Josh Marquis claiming his free speech and due process rights were violated when Marquis refused to use Barnett as a witness in prosecutions because of concerns about the officer’s credibility. A federal appeals court ruled last year that Marquis had absolute immunity from the lawsuit.  MORE

Preliminary investigation by Trooper Arnold revealed that the driver, Joseph Biacan, of Derwood, Maryland, had the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath.  Numerous open containers of alcohol were also observed in the vehicle.  Trooper Arnold administered several field sobriety tests and a portable breath test at the scene.  A certified breath test was also later administered with a result of .09% blood alcohol content.

While at the scene of the traffic stop and prior to the field sobriety tests, a female passenger in the TrailBlazer, later identified as Nicole A. Jacobson, 30, of Waianae, Hawaii, was asked for identification as well as a statement as to the road rage incident.  During this interaction with Troopers, Jacobson became combative and uncooperative.  Troopers also detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverages on her breath as well as having observed open containers in her lap and on the floorboard of the car.  During questioning by Trooper Arnold, Jacobson started to stumble into traffic and wasn’t cooperating with verbal commands.  Trooper Arnold attempted to handcuff Jacobson when she became combative with him and other Troopers.  Jacobson began to kick and hit Troopers during the arrest.

While re-securing her in the police car, she kicked a troopers hand as it was rested against the door, but he was not injured.

 While sitting in a police car, Jacobson attempted to remove the handcuffs and kick the dash of the police car.  While re-securing her in the police car, she kicked a troopers hand as it was rested against the door, but he was not injured.  An ambulance was called to the scene for a welfare check due to Jacobson’s high level of intoxication as well as her stating to officers that she was pregnant.

Jacobson was transported to Franciscan Health in Rensselaer where she was medically cleared for incarceration at the Jasper County Jail.  While at the jail, Jacobson physically assaulted a corrections officer during the booking process.  Jacobson is being charged with two counts of Battery on Law Enforcement (Level 6 Felony), 1 count of Resisting Arrest (A Misdemeanor) and Public Intoxication (B Misdemeanor).  Joseph Biacan was also incarcerated at the Jasper County Jail and charged with Operating While Intoxicated (A misdemeanor).

Joseph Biacan, of 4900 McCall Street, Rockville, Md., is wanted on an open warrant in Montgomery County, Md., for violating a peace order filed in District Court on Aug. 8, 2017. Biacan was due in Court in Rockville, Md., on July 30, 2017.

Biacan was arrested by Montgomery County, Md., Police Officer Eddie Alesich on May 28, 2014, at 9:20 pm for driving while impaired on 16254 Frederick Road in a 1996 Chevy. On Oct. 14, 2014, Montgomery County States Attorney John McCarthy dropped the charges.
