An East Texas deputy was hit and killed by a drunken driver during a traffic stop on his last day of training, according to the Smith County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Larry Smith said Lorenzo Bustos, 29, and his training partner, Michael Skinner, 39, were working on a traffic stop at 11:50 p.m. Thursday in Tyler.
They had two people from that traffic stop detained in their patrol unit and Bustos was standing near the back of the car when a Mercedes Benz rear-ended it. Bustos was “launched” under the patrol car after being hit at “moderate speed at best,” Smith said in a news conference.Smith said that Skinner sustained injuries but was treated at the hospital and released.The driver of the Mercedes Benz, Daniel Nyenze Nyabuto, 21 of Grand Prairie, was initially arrested for intoxication assault but charges were expected to be upgraded to intoxication manslaughter, Smith said.
Smith said that Bustos joined the sheriff’s office about six months ago, and he was in the “ghost phase” of his training. Thursday night marked his last night of training.He left behind three young children and a wife, the sheriff’s office said.
