At Rest

Deadly force
Officers Ronald White and Ron Hartman, and state troopers Don Bolen and Michael Pionk responded to a reported assault. A woman said Michael David DeMerell had stabbed her in the home they shared before she'd fled to a neighbor's house. DeMerell allegedly pointed a pellet gun at police. White shot DeMerell once. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
This record exists so that Michael David “Mike” DeMerell, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
