At Rest

Vehic/Purs
Patrolman Brandon Tagayun was responding as backup for another officer on a domestic violence call at the Kanawha Mall when his cruiser collided with Patsy Sizemore's truck at a Kanawha City intersection, killing her. A state police report on the wreck estimated Tagayun's speed at 79.76 mph, nearly twice the posted speed limit on MacCorkle Avenue. Tagayun resigned and was found guilty of two misdemeanors.
This record exists so that Patsy Sizemore, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
