At Rest

Deadly force
Beasley made a call to the Paragould Police Department and made a threat against police. When Lt. Chuck Boone and Det. Sgt. Scott Snyder responded to Beasley s residence, Beasley confronted them with a knife and refused to comply with their instructions to drop the knife before they shot and killed him.
This record exists so that William Jay “Bill” Beasley, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
