GASTONIA, N.C. - Reacting to the death of a North Carolina man in drunken driving accident involving an illegal immigrant, U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick on Monday unveiled a proposal that she said would make local police more responsible for tracking illegal immigrants, Myrick said.
Myrick named the "Scott Gardner Act" after the Mount Holly resident killed in an apparent drunken driving wreck July 16 in Brunswick County. Ramiro Gallegos of Mexico, convicted of driving while intoxicated three times but never deported, faces second-degree murder charges in the wreck.
