Steve Levitre

Deadly force

A police officer pulled over Steve Levitre during a traffic stop. The officer recognized the man as someone who had made threats on his life, according to a department spokeswoman. The officer told Leitre to put his hands where he could see them. Levitre did not. The spokesperson said the officer drew his gun, and Levitre continued to act as if he was reaching for a weapon. Levitre began to drive his car toward the officer. Fearing Levitre would run him over, the officer shot and killed him.
