How they died
Vehic/Purs
Off-duty Sheriff's Deputy Ron Heeg responded to a call for a home invasion and shooting. With red lights and sirens activated, Heeg attempted to drive around traffic that was stopped by a police roadblock in the eastbound lanes of U.S. 20. A car driven by Charles Leathers, of Portage, pulled out of the stopped traffic and made a U-turn in front of Heeg at 6:47 p.m., who hit and killed him. Allegedly, Leathers had more alcohol in his blood than was legally allowed.
