How they died
Deadly force
DPS and police put spike strips on the highway to stop Swindle, who was driving an allegedly stolen truck. Swindle swerved to avoid the strips and hit Trooper Zach Mills, breaking his leg. Witness Kateria Clifton states that she then heard the truck head straight into a pasture, then "chaos as all the law enforcement behind him followed". A reporter also states that a "Center police officer wrecked his car in the confusion". Trooper Dustin Ramos and Officer Dwayne Gordon fired 19-21 shots into the truck. Swindle, who the police claim was naked, was struck five times.
