Deadly force
Around 3 p.m., Columbus police said they were following Andrew Teague, who had a warrant out for his arrest in connection to an assault that happened in February. Police noticed he had a handgun and stopped chasing, but a helicopter continued to follow the other. A short time later, deputies saw Teague pulled over on the shoulder of I-270 north. Deputies said Teague then drove away from them and went the wrong way on I-270 south. Teague hit two vehicles head-on. Teague got out of the other and exchanged gunshots with a Columbus Officer John Kifer and Deputy Michael Severance, who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Andrew “Dru” Eugene Teague, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
