Joel Allen

Deadly force

Officer Michael DeWilde, investigating an unrelated incident and possibly not in uniform, saw Allen participating in what he thought was a drug deal and approached Allen's car as he got in. Allen pulled away, hitting DeWilde, who landed on the hood of the moving car. From the hood, DeWilde shot Allen and was then thrown off. Allen soon hit another car on a highway. He died in the hospital a week later. Police allege vehicular assault
