Police Officer Henry Stewart was killed while off duty after confronting a teenager who was vandalizing cars and signs on the block he lived on.
When Officer Stewart approached the suspect, the man drove off, dragging Officer Stewart 500 feet before smashing into a parked car. The teen fled the scene leaving Officer Stewart trapped under the car.
Officers who responded to the call lifted the car off of Officer Stewart and transported him to the hospital where he died of his injuries.
The suspect was apprehended later that night. He was convicted of criminally negligent homicide and 13 counts of criminal mischief.
