At Rest

Deadly force
A Bradley County Sheriff's Office deputy shot a woman at least seven times after she cut him with a knife and stole his patrol car on Interstate 75. Armetta Foster was shot in front of her two children, ages 10 and 6, after Deputy Dustin Patrick stopped to check on them as they walked north along the side of the highway. Despite the fatal gunshots, she drove the patrol car about two and a half miles.
This record exists so that Armetta L. Foster, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
