Officer Caesar Goodson, 45, voluntarily surrendered to police at noon today and faces up to 30 years in jail for the charge.

A source close to the Goodson family say the 16-year veteran has been plagued by flashbacks and nightmares over the death of Gray who died April 19 from injuries sustained in the back of the paddy wagon driven by Goodson.
