Officer Wayne Pitt succumbed to injuries sustained four days earlier when he was dragged by his patrol car.
Officer Pitt was providing traffic control for a religious procession and had stopped traffic at an intersection. As the procession passed, Officer Pitt observed a scooter that was about to enter into the path of the procession and he exited his patrol car to stop it. He re-entered the patrol car when he realized that it was still in gear. The patrol car struck the scooter, another vehicle, and a tree.
He was transported to a local hospital where he remained until succumbing to his injuries.
Officer Pitt had served with the Metropolitan Police Department for 4 years and was assigned to the Third District's Substation. He had previously served as a police officer in North Carolina for 20 years.
