Randy Harmon was a successful entrepreneur and CEO of the electronic payment processing company, Electronic Merchant Systems (EMS). However, his life took a tragic turn when he was involved in a fatal car accident in 2018.
The accident occurred on November 24, 2018, in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Harmon was driving his 2017 Lamborghini Huracan when he collided with a 2013 Toyota Highlander. The driver of the Highlander, a 61-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Harmon was transported to a nearby hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He was later charged with aggravated vehicular homicide and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Harmon pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on a $500,000 bond.
The case went to trial in September 2019, where Harmon's defense team argued that the accident was not caused by his intoxication but rather by a mechanical failure in his car. However, the prosecution presented evidence that Harmon had been drinking and using drugs prior to the accident.
In November 2019, Harmon was found guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide and sentenced to eight years in prison. He was also ordered to pay restitution to the victim's family and have his driver's license suspended for life.
The tragic accident not only resulted in the loss of a life but also had a significant impact on EMS. Following Harmon's arrest, the company's board of directors voted to remove him as CEO. EMS was later sold to a private equity firm in 2019.
Harmon's case serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the devastating consequences that can result. It also highlights the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their status or position in society.
