How they died

Deadly force

Cleveland was suspected of robbing a Pleasant Grove bank and eluded police during a car chase. He was later found at his Orem home. Cleveland, who allegedly had a gun in each hand, opened his garage door and hid behind a car. When Officers Robert J. Flygare and Ross Snyder told him to drop the guns, Cleveland allegedly climbed onto the car and fired three shots at officers. They returned fire, striking Cleveland several times.
