How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Officers Jason Crawford, Robin Burke, John Paine and Jack DeLand responded to a home after Thomas Bobzean reportedly punched Christopher Conley in the head during an argument. According to court documents, Conley was alert and spoke with the officers, then became ill. John Whitman, an attorney for the city, argued that the officers and Conley's friends assumed he was intoxicated when his condition deteriorated. An officer then drove Conley and a friend to a home in Adrian to spend the night. Conley died in his sleep. An affidavit from a medical doctor stated Conley's chances for survival "would have been excellent" had he received appropriate medical attention.
