Carroll Sue Politte

How they died

Pursuit

Arnold police officers tried to stop a car that reportedly had no license plates. The driver of the car, Dustin Fernow, drove off. The officers pursued him. Fernow drove into the Ridgewood Middle School parking lot, and then away and back onto the highway. Without stopping or yielding for oncoming traffic, Fernow struck a other, injuring two occupants. The passenger, Carroll Politte, died a month later.
