Everett, who is currently a free agent, will be sentenced on
Sept. 8.
An investigation of the incident by the Loudon County Sheriff's
Office resulted in a February warrant for involuntary
manslaughter, after which Everett turned himself in.
His charge was later reduced from involuntary manslaughter to
reckless driving, which is a misdemeanor in Virginia that
carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a maximum
fine of $2,500.
On December 23, 2021, Everett's 2010 Nissan GT-R "left the right
side of the roadway, struck several trees, and rolled over" at
approximately 9:15 p.m. EST, per a report from the Loudoun
County Sheriff's Office. Everett was driving "over twice the
posted 45 mph speed limit just prior to the crash," according to
police.
Everett's girlfriend, Olivia S. Peters, 29, died of her injuries
at StoneSprings Hospital Center in Dulles, Va.
Everett himself sustained serious, but non-life-threatening
injuries in the crash.
The 30-year-old Everett was Washington's longtime special teams
captain and played all seven seasons of his NFL career with the
franchise. The Commanders cut Everett in March.
