At Rest

Deadly force
A trooper pulled a driver over and called for backup for a field sobriety test. He then approached the driver's side of the Escape, while the second trooper arrived. The driver reportedly showed signs of impairment, and the trooper asked him to get out of the car. The driver refused to get out of the car. The man put the car in drive while the trooper reached to take the keys out of the ignition. As the trooper reached in, the driver sped away, dragging the trooper more than 2,000 feet down the interstate before the trooper shot and killed him.
