At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Hooper drove through a traffic stop. Fisher County deputies pursued him into Jones County. Hooper crashed, stepped out of his other and resisted arrest for possession of a controlled substance. Deputies tasered and arrested Hooper. Hooper said that he had a drug problem. He was asked if he had taken drugs that day. Hooper said that he had not, but died hours later of what was characterized as a drug overdose.
This record exists so that Johnny Anthony Hooper, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
