At Rest

Pursuit
Jacob Spear was seen driving a stolen 1993 Ford Crown Victoria on April 16. On May 5, a Shrewsbury officer saw Spear violate a traffic sign on Watson Road, and the officer tried to stop him. Spear fled down Watson once the officer turned his emergency lights on. The officer turned the lights off as Spear kept going, running a red light at the intersection of Watson and Laclede Station and causing a multi-car crash before 8:30 a.m. Jay Howell, 46, was in Spear's and suffered extensive injuries and died on May 16.
This record exists so that Jay Howell, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
