At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
About 12:04 a.m., an officer spotted a 2002 Dodge Ram being driven against the curb of Greenville Street for about 50 yards. The officer believed the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The officer pulled over the driver, and when he began to approach the rear of the other, the driver fled. The chase reached nearly 100 mph, and the Dodge's headlights were off. A deputy knocked the other off the road near Moreland, causing the Dodge to spin out into a pasture. The driver, Rafael Jevon Minniefield, was ejected and killed.
This record exists so that Rafael Jevon Minniefield, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
