Life-saving measures were given on the scene by Good Samaritans and later by Taylor\u2019s brothers and sisters in green. Deputy Taylor was trauma transported to Punta Gorda ShorePoint Health and regrettably succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The driver, identified as 30-year-old Cassandra Smith, called 911 after losing control of her Jeep and veering across three lanes into the shoulder striking the deputy\u2019s patrol vehicle which in turn hit the deputy. Smith was taken into custody by Florida Highway Patrol and transported to the Charlotte County Jail on charges of DUI Manslaughter.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Taylor joined the agency in August of 2021 and was officially sworn in on February 14. He is survived by his parents and fianc\u00e9. \u201cIn his little less than a year of service to Charlotte County, Chris exemplified the core values of the CCSO; Integrity, Professionalism, and Trust. Chris just celebrated his 23rd birthday on Saturday. Losing a deputy is unspeakably difficult for the agency, but the passing of such a promising and kind young man is a tremendous loss for the world,\u201d shared Sheriff Bill Prummell.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Deputy Christopher Taylor Line of Duty Death\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tQZmCkDvoeI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Details regarding services will be forthcoming.
