Jesse D. Hare stopped breathing after Sgt. Curtis Wilson and officers Joshua Hecker, Terry Hayes and Jeffrey Petty maced and restrained him. Hare's mother called 911 stating her son was having trouble breathing. Hare refused medical treatment and ran from police. His family alleged officers had beaten him a few months earlier, so he was scared. According to police, Hare ran onto the road and that they had to grab him and use mace to restrain him. Hare stopped breathing and died at the hospital. Hare's family said he was beaten to death. "When we went to view him, his face was all battered," Hare's mother said. An autopsy report said Hare died from "adverse effects of cocaine." In 2012, Hare's family received a $175,000 settlement.
