How they died
Deadly force
A deputy tried to stop Jessalynn Simons for erratic driving and a broken tail light at around 5 p.m. Police said Simons led two deputies and three state troopers on a five-mile chase that ended when the officers forced her car off the road. Trooper David Rivard shot Simons when she allegedly drove her car toward him. She died the next morning from her injuries. Simons' family agreed to accept a $650,000 settlement in 2007.
