At Rest

Pursuit
At 8:21 p.m., Mansfield police responded to a report of three men fighting, with a woman potentially being held against her will. While en route, officers learned a man had been struck in the face with a tire iron and a man had fled in a pickup. Police found the 2005 Chevy Silverado pickup on Bowman Street, traveling north at a high rate of speed. The driver refused to stop. While police pursued, Heater reportedly traveled off the road and rammed a police cruiser. As police chased him through rural Richland County, the driver, Randy Heater, ultimately crashed and was killed.
This record exists so that Randy Heater, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
