How they died

Deadly force

Portsmouth Police received information that Charles Arnold Savage Jr. would be in the parking lot of a Golden Skillet restaurant with a large quantity of drugs, police said. When police arrived shortly after 8 p.m., they located Savage and identified themselves as police officers with their badges out. As they approached Savage's car, he started his car, sped toward some of the officers and hit one of their unmarked cars. Auxiliary officer Michael Morse fired two shots at Savage's car after Savage drove his car at him. One of those bullets struck Savage in the chest, killing him. He drove about a mile before he succumbed.
