How they died
Vehic/Purs
Nehemiah Thompson was less than two blocks from home when a Chevrolet Blazer being driven the wrong way on a one-way street by off-duty Lt. James Agee crashed into his car at around 3:15 a.m. Thompson died from his injuries. Agee's blood-alcohol level was reportedly 0.23, and police said they found a pint of Courvoisier cognac that was three-quarters empty on the hood of Agee's SUV. Agee, 55, was charged with second-degree murder two weeks later, and was suspended from his job without pay. In 2005, Agee pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 9-15 years in prison.
