A healthcare executive and her husband in Florida avoid jail by entering deferred prosecution agreements after police responded to reports that a six-month-old baby was left unattended on a beach. According to reports, Sara Sommers Wilks, 37, an executive at US Heart and Vascular, and her husband, Brian David Wilks, 40, were arrested in October following calls about the baby being alone at Miramar Beach in the state.
Both outlets report that the couple subsequently resolve the case through deferred prosecution agreements rather than serving a jail sentence. One report also says the couple is banned from the entirety of a Florida county following the incident, adding a condition related to where they may go while the case is handled. The reports describe police involvement after the unattended-baby allegations but do not provide additional details about the specific charges or the terms beyond the deferred prosecution and the geographic restriction.
