Charles Pasek Jr.

Deadly force

Patrolmen Robert Nagy and Anthony Lipinski responded to a violent domestic disturbance at a home. Pasek was drunk, screaming and brandishing what the officers feared was a butcher'€s knife. Pasek'€s estranged wife said her husband had beaten her and wouldn't allow her to leave. The officers tried to talk Pasek out of the house, but he rushed at the officers. Nagy fired three times, striking Pasek in the arm and chest. He later died. In his hands were a pair of pliers and several kitchen utensils.
