At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Officers responded at 3:45 a.m. to a home on a report of a person who was breaking a glass door to gain entrance to the residence. The female caller reported the man had entered the home, and she was told to seek protection in a bathroom. When officers arrived they heard the suspect yelling in the backyard. Officers entered the backyard and gave commands to get on the ground. Michael Anthony Overlow allegedly charged the officers and began to fight, and he was tasered, cuffed and leg restraints were applied, killing him.
This record exists so that Michael Anthony Overlow, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
