Brendan “Bre” S. Charlet

Suicide

Hardy police were called to a business in Ash Flat for a report of a man acting erratically. When officers arrived, Brendan Charle had left the business. A Highland officer later saw Charlet's truck around 8:45 p.m. driving at a high rate of speed and pursued him. During the chase, Charlet reportedly rammed his truck into a Hardy police cruiser. The cruiser and the truck then traveled into a ditch. When the officer went to check on Charlet, the officer found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot.
