How they died
Deadly force
According to police, Jason Staton, robbed the Garden Patch store in Marine City. According to the clerk, Stanton "asked the customer [inside the store] what he did for a living, and after [the customer] said he was a janitor, he gave money to [the customer] and said to buy lunch." Staton then fled on I-94 toward Macomb County. According to police, Stanton stopped under the 23 Mile overpass in Chesterfield Township and shot at passing motorists. Chesterfield officers and Macomb County deputies chased Staton, who left the freeway at North River Road, jumped a curb, bursting his tires. Police said he got out of the car firing two shotguns. Officers returned fire, striking Staton five times and killing him.
