At Rest

Deadly force
Ralph Daniel Hardiek and Julie Marie King, knocked on a neighbor's door on Center Street asking to borrow a car to tow theirs out of a ditch. A woman refused and went to a nearby gas station to call police. Officers found the pair under a porch and after being tasered, Hardiek allegedly pointed a gun at police, and police shot and killed Hardiek and wounded King.
