Officer Justin McGrory California Highway Patrol, California End of Watch: Sunday, June 27, 2010 Age: 28 Years on the job: 2, 8months Badge Number: 18606 Cause of death: Vehicular assault   Officer Justin McGrory was struck and killed by a drunk driver while conducting a field sobriety test on I-15 in Barstow at 3:38 am. A Las Vegas man was charged Tuesday with vehicular manslaughter in connection with the death of a California Highway Patrol officer on Interstate 15 near Barstow. Rafael Garcia, 18, was behind the wheel of a Pontiac G6 that clipped the back of a CHP patrol car about 3:40 a.m. Sunday, striking and killing officer Justin McGrory, 28, while he stood on the shoulder for a traffic stop, officials said. In addition to vehicular manslaughter, Garcia was charged with child endangerment and transportation of marijuana, according to San Bernardino County prosecutors. McGrory is among five CHP officers killed on duty in the last two months, a trend that has raised questions about officers' safety as they stop cars on the side of fast-moving roadways. Four of the officers died in accidents on the side of a road, highway or freeway, and CHP pilot Danny Benavides, 39, died in a plane crash in May in the Imperial Valley while on observation patrol. Garcia is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon by video. He faces up to eight years and four months in state prison if convicted on all counts. Officer McGrory had served with the California Highway Patrol for almost three years. He is survived by his expectant wife and three small children.     Agency Information California Highway Patrol PO Box 942898 Sacramento, CA 94298 Phone: (916) 657-7261 Submit a Condolences Subscribe to Officer Down E-Mail Alerts Walk tall, walk tall and protect us from above with honor and dignity.
