She was charged with DUI causing serious bodily injury to a law enforcement officer, reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, DUI with a BAC of 0.15 or higher, three counts of DUI causing property damage or injury, driving without a valid license, and operating as a non-resident without proper registration, a charge that was later dropped. The man deputies originally stopped that night, 20-year-old Andrew Gibson, survived with no life-threatening injuries. The crash missed him by inches. He was taken to jail on his outstanding failure to appear warrant. Officer Julian Garcia was airlifted to the hospital where he underwent multiple surgeries. He survived, but the impact shattered his left leg and doctors were forced to amputate below the knee. During his recovery, the community rallied around him. Garcia was awarded the Purple Heart and local organizations raised tens of thousands of dollars to support his rehabilitation and his family. After months of physical therapy and prosthetic training, Garcia returned to duty. In 2025, he was back on the job working alongside Officer Richard Rodriguez, the same partner he was with that night. As for Barragan, her criminal case remains open. Court records show ongoing hearings, motions, and canceled trial dates as the case continues through the system more than a year later.
