How they died

Deadly force

Deputy Robert L. Peterman Jr. was reportedly going about 85 mph when he rear-ended Fairmount Township volunteer firefighter Jared M. Moore's car, killing Moore, as both men were responded to another accident near Basehor. At around midnight, Moore was in his 1994 Dodge Shadow, when he slowed down to turn left and Peterman's Ford Crown Victoria struck him from behind. Peterman, who'd allegedly turned off his video camera, was charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. Peterman was acquitted in September 2005. In 2006, Moore's parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging that county officials and sheriff's deputies attempted to intimidate them when they tried to speak publicly about their son's death.
