Police Officer Found Guilty in Train Track Injury Case

A Colorado police officer, Jordan Steinke, has been found guilty of reckless endangerment and assault after placing a handcuffed woman in a police vehicle parked on train tracks, resulting in a high-speed train collision. Steinke was acquitted of a felony charge of attempted manslaughter. The judge stated that Steinke's actions created an "unjustifiable risk of harm." The detained woman, Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, survived the crash but suffered serious injuries. Steinke is scheduled to be sentenced in September. Rios-Gonzalez has filed a civil lawsuit against the police departments involved.
