At Rest

Deadly force
Police from three Trumbull County agencies chased a blue 1983 Cadillac Eldorado that was reported stolen from a Kinsman auto yard. The Ohio State Highway Patrol set up stop spikes, near the Tibbetts Wick Road exit of Route 11 southbound. According to officials at an OSHP news conference, the spikes stopped the car. When officers approached the other, Dempsey pulled out a semiautomatic handgun, and police shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Cody Dempsey, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
