A former Danbury police officer has been charged with reckless driving in connection to a chase and crash that led to the death of a woman from the city.

Jamie Hodge, 39, turned himself in to police Friday after an investigation into the December crash.

Hodge had been working a private job when he observed a vehicle he recognized to be stolen.

Police say Hodge pursued the vehicle, which eventually crashed.

The passenger, 26-year-old Tiffany Fitzgerald, was killed.
