Deadly force
Officer Charles D. Hubbard shot Arthur G. Dobbins in the head when he allegedly tried to take another officer's gun during a traffic stop. Witnesses disputed the police account. According to an autopsy, Dobbins was high on PCP and drunk at the time of the shooting. Pagedale Police reportedly did not learn until after the shooting that Hubbard had been involved in two questionable shootings while employed as a St. Louis police officer. A St. Louis County grand jury declined to charge Hubbard, prosecuting attorney Robert McCulloch said. In 2001, the Kinloch Police Department hired Hubbard, which led to public outcry.
