SAN DIEGO -- A woman who was a passenger in the car of former Chargers linebacker Steve Foley when he was shot by an off-duty police officer last Labor Day weekend was declared guilty Thursday of assault with a deadly weapon by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and assault with a deadly weapon.

But 26-year-old Lisa Maree Gaut, who was accused of trying to run down an off-duty Coronado police officer, was acquitted of a charge of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 22.

The verdict for Gaut, who was also found guilty of two misdemeanor DUI counts, was reached Wednesday and read in court Thursday morning.

Jurors reached their verdict after four days of deliberations in the courtroom of Judge Charles Rogers.

Gaut testified that she had no idea -- and neither did Foley -- that they were being followed by off-duty Coronado police Officer Aaron Mansker after they left a downtown San Diego nightclub last Sept. 3.

The defendant testified that Foley was shot when he got out of his car on Travertine Court and walked toward Mansker.

Gaut testified that after the linebacker was wounded, she told Foley she was going to turn his custom car around to help him.

The defendant said she finally got the car in gear and drove straight over a curb.

Once she backed out of a front yard, Gaut said, she once again had trouble getting Foley's car into drive, continually revving the loud engine.

Mansker testified that he started following Foley's car around 3 a.m. when he noticed it being driven erratically through Balboa Park.

After exiting the freeway and driving onto Foley's cul-de-sac, Mansker testified that Gaut slid into the driver's seat of the car and drove straight at him, prompting him to fire at the car.

Mansker said Foley then appeared near the front of his personal, unmarked car, reached toward his waist and lifted up his shirt, prompting the officer to fire at him.

Gaut testified that she repeatedly tried to stop Foley from getting out of the car and confronting the person who was following them.

During closing arguments, defense attorney Raymond Vecchio said his client "didn't do anything wrong" when Mansker began tailing the car because he suspected the motorist of drunken driving.

Vecchio said Mansker was an inexperienced "overzealous" officer who made a number of inappropriate decisions, including failing to show his badge.

But Deputy District Attorney James Koerber said Mansker did what he was trained to do when he spotted Foley driving erratically on northbound state Route 163.

Koerber said Mansker called dispatchers and kept waiting for help to arrive, but continued following Foley's 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass in the meantime.

Both Foley and Gaut knew or reasonably should have known that Mansker was a police officer, but didn't want to believe it, Koerber told the jury.

Koerber said Gaut drove Foley's car toward the officer so she could get away, knowing there was a warrant out for her arrest on an outstanding receipt of stolen property case from another county.

Foley, 31, who was cut from the Chargers' roster around the end of last season, is scheduled to stand trial May 7 on two counts of driving under the influence.
