Drunk Driver Sentenced for Killing NYPD Detective

Jessica Beauvais receives over 20 years in prison for the 2021 death of Detective Anastasios Tsakos, leaving his family devastated.

Jessica Beauvais was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for the aggravated manslaughter of NYPD detective Anastasios Tsakos.
Tsakos was killed in April 2021 while assisting at the scene of another crash on the Long Island Expressway.
Beauvais had a blood alcohol content nearly twice the legal limit and fled the scene after the incident.
The sentencing followed emotional pleas from Tsakos' widow, who described the devastating impact on their family.
Beauvais' defense argued she did not see Tsakos due to lack of reflective vests and proper lighting, but was still convicted.
