'She laughed casually': Drunk state trooper who was rushing home with Domino's when she killed motorcyclist 'showed no empathy' at scene, cops say

The off-duty Washington state trooper accused of running down a man with her car while driving with a blood alcohol level at least twice the legal limit faces homicide charges some six months after the fatal crash.
As Law&Crime has previously reported, Sarah Clasen, 35, allegedly struck and killed Jhoser Vega Sanchez, 20, in March. Her blood alcohol level at the time was 0.17, more than twice the legal limit, a probable cause affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime says.
She was charged with vehicular homicide on Thursday, court documents show.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Clasen was seen on surveillance video exiting a "drinking establishment" called Moon Palace shortly before 7:30 p.m. and getting into her car, a 2024 Kia, in Richland, a city in south-central Washington, 30 miles north of the Oregon border.
Within minutes, at around 7:30 p.m., she "picked up a pizza from Domino's Pizza," the affidavit said.
