CLEVELAND — A Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Deputy will not face criminal charges in a deadly chase that killed an innocent driver.

Special Prosecutor Steve Dever wrapped up his review of the case involving Deputy Kasey Loudermilk from the sheriff’s Downtown Safety Patrol.

Loudermilk was chasing a driver who slammed into Tamya Westmoreland’s car in March.

The crash killed the driver and caused a fiery explosion at I-90 and Eddy Road.

Westmoreland died two weeks later.
