A Texas healthcare executive and her husband avoided jail time after striking a deal with Florida prosecutors in a child neglect case stemming from allegations that they left their 6-month-old baby unattended on a beach while they went for a walk. Sara Sommers Wilks, 37, a regional president at US Heart and Vascular in Houston, and her husband, Brian David Wilks, 40, entered deferred prosecution agreements that will allow them to avoid criminal prosecution if they comply with a series of conditions over the next year. Under the agreements signed last month the couple must each pay $1,000 in fines and court costs, complete 25 hours of community service, attend a parenting class, stay out of legal trouble and remain barred from Walton County in the Florida Panhandle.
