A St. Peters man has pleaded guilty in a 2024 crash that killed a St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department officer.

Ramon Chavez-Rodriguez, 25, admitted in court Tuesday that he was drunk and had drugs in his system when he lost control of his vehicle on eastbound Interstate 70 near North Grand Avenue around 8:30 a.m. Sept. 22, 2024. The SUV spun and hit officer David Lee, who was on the highway responding to another crash. Lee was pinned between two vehicles, then thrown several feet. He died in surgery later that day.
