A Macomb Tonwship man is scheduled to be sentence today in the death of an Oakland County sheriff’s deputy.
24 year old Christopher Berak is facing life in prison on a first degree murder conviction.
Investigators say he hit and killed deputy Eric Overall in November of 2017 as the deputy was attempting to throw stop sticks along M-15 near Seymour Lake Road to disable Berak’s
car.
Deputies had been chasing him.
They say he had been angry at law enforcement that night after two earlier police stops and receiving a speeding ticket.
During his trial evidence had been presented of cell phone recordings and texts of him saying he would kill anyone who tried to touch him.
