Daryl L. Eye

Deadly force

Felony warrants for tampering, first degree and resisting arrest had been issued for Eye by Laclede County. Misdemeanor warrants for possession of marijuana and no valid driver's license had been issued for Eye by Dallas County. Eye also was suspected of stealing a 2000 Kia on November 11, 2011. Eye refused to stop for the officer and a pursuit ensued. During that pursuit, Eye caused his other to strike the front of the trooper's cruiser, disabling the patrol other. Eye continued and was not located that night. At approximately noon, November 20, 2011, information was developed indicating that Eye was possibly on or near a county road in western Pulaski County. Approximately 30 minutes later, troopers located a stolen Chevrolet pickup, occupied by a white male, which they believed to be Eye, backed into a wooded area off Randolph Road. When troopers ordered the suspect to show his hands he refused to comply. He then accelerated and steered his other toward the officers. In response, the troopers fired at the suspect. The suspect then drove west on Randolph Road, while being pursued by officers, until the other traveled off the left side of the road and stopped. At that time, the trooper fired his rifle at Eye, killing him.
