Columbia Police Department officer Andrea Heese was sentenced to two years supervised probation related to the death of 4-year-old Gabriella Curry.
In 2019 Curry was playing on Battle High School's sidewalk when she was struck by Heese's police vehicle and killed. Earlier this summer Heese pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for careless driving related to the case.
Boone County Prosecuting Attorney Kevin Hillman, Heese's defense attorney Donald Weaver, and Gabriella's family all agreed that Heese should not have to spend any time in jail.
