How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Curtis Webber died the day after officers Jarrod Menges and Roderick Miller chased him down and wrestled him to the ground during a traffic stop. Webber allegedly ran from officers after they pulled over a Cadillac he was riding in with his wife just before 2 a.m. because of an expired license plate. According to police, Weber struggled with the officers when they caught up to him in a nearby alley. The officers maced Webber, applied a "a pressure point control tactic," hit him with a flashlight (hard enough to break it) and then several times with a baton. Webber became unresponsive and died March 9 at a hospital. Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston decided that Menges and Miller had used "reasonable and necessary force" and that Webber had died from an overdose.
