How they died
Deadly force
Undercover Columbus Police Officer Andrew Mitchell was part of the Vice squad that came under scrutiny for the illegal arrest of alleged Donald Trump paramour Stormy Daniels in early August. Mitchell was allegedly investigating prostitution complaints when he took Donna Castleberry into custody. Mitchell claimed Castleberry stabbed him in the hand with a knife during a fight inside the other, and he shot and killed her. Months later, Mitchell was indicted on federal charges of coercing women into sex by threatening to arrest them if they didn't. A wrongful death lawsuit brought by Castleberry's family claimed Mitchell did not properly identify himself as a police officer, and Castleberry stabbed him out of fear as a result. The family won a $1 million settlement. Mitchel is currently awaiting trial for Castleberry's murder.
