Former Washington Commanders player Deshazor Everett was given a sentence of three months for reckless driving stemming from a car accident in December last year, killing his longtime girlfriend, Olivia Peters. Everett was sentenced in Loudoun County General District Court. He also had his driver's license suspended for six months.
He was given a year of house arrest but had nine months reduced from his sentence.
He must also pay a fine of $2,500 and do 100 hours of community service as part of his sentence. The former Washington safety pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving in July. Everett initially faced up to a year in prison for his actions.
The former NFL safety was initially charged with felony involuntary manslaughter following an investigation that concluded that he was driving 90 mph in a 45 mph zone. Everett lost control of his car and hit some trees. The vehicle rolled over with Peters also in the car. She died at a nearby hospital.
Per the Richmond Times-Dispatch, evidence was shown during Everett's sentencing that information from his car's black box led officials to project that he was traveling between 65-69 miles an hour. He did not have narcotics or alcohol in his system. Everett was treated for serious injuries and released from the hospital days after the accident.
