At Rest

Deadly force
Around 8 a.m., Montgomery County police received several 911 calls that a man in a Volkswagen sedan was driving erratically. Two cars were struck by the driver before the deputy arrived. Deputy Frank Pruitt arrived and saw Kevin Costlow approaching two people with a large stick. He and Costlow began fighting, and Costlow struck him with it. The deputy attempted to shock Costlow with his Taser, but he failed to incapacitate him, and Deputy Frank Pruitt shot and killed Costlow.
This record exists so that Kevin Costlow, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
