Jeremy Scott Waller

How they died

Deadly force

Waller was involved in two fights at the same bar on the same night. Officer Joey Garcia, working a second job, tried to arrest Waller. Waller resisted, knocking Officer Garcia to the ground and striking him with the handle of a folding knife. Officer Garcia batted the knife away with a baton. Waller retrieved the knife, then approached Officer Garcia. Officer Garcia shot Waller twice in the chest, killing him. Nine staples were used to close a cut on the officer's hand. He had served MPD for eight years.
