George Riley Williamson

Deadly force

Williamson was driving his truck when Zito - with Champagne riding along as part of her training - tried to pull him over near the intersection of the Johansen Expressway and University Avenue, troopers said. Williamson didn't stop and officers pursued him through the city, joined by Geier, and found the other stuck in a snow berm about seven miles north of the city. Williamson ran from the other and the officers followed him. The driver had a gun and fired it, and police shot and killed him.
