A plea deal has been reached in the 2013 case of a woman who was fired at by a New Mexico State Police officer as she fled from police in a van full of children.
The reports the state reached the deal with 40-year-old Oriana Farrell Monday. The details of the deal are to be disclosed next Monday, when her trial had been scheduled to start.
Farrell had been traveling through New Mexico from Tennessee when she sped away from police twice and was stopped by another officer. Officer Elias Montoya fired three shots toward Farrell's van carrying her five children when Farrell drove away.
Montoya was fired from the State Police.
Farrell is facing charges of fleeing from police, child abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia.
