How they died

Suicide

Brian Resser, a patrolman with the Herington PD and the Wabaunsee Sheriff's Office, reportedly committed suicide after a chase through Pottawatomie and Riley counties. Police had received a report at around 11:50 p.m. regarding a possibly armed man driving a Pontiac Grand Prix who'd been making suicidal threats. Marshall County deputies first saw Resser at about 2:30 a.m. but weren't able to stop him. About an hour later, a Pottawatomie deputy tried to pull Resser over in Manhattan. A chase ensued on Highway 24 to Wamego, then north on K-99 to Westmoreland, where deputies used stop sticks to stop the Pontiac. Deputies said they found Resser dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
