Lieutenant Aaron Tise was intentionally struck and killed by a suspect driving stolen construction equipment
One of four teenagers directed the grader towards Lieutenant Tise's patrol car even as Lieutenant Tise attempted to move out of the way. As the grader collided with the patrol car Lieutenant Tise attempted to exit the vehicle through the passenger door, however his leg became stuck and he was unable to totally exit the vehicle.
The motor grader dragged the patrol car down the road, hit another police vehicle and stopped after crossing a main road. By the time other officers were able to get to the vehicle Lieutenant Tise had passed away.
The suspects ran from the scene, but were arrested a short time later. All four were charged with murder. Charges against three were later dropped. The other 19-year-old suspect was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to life. As of April 29, 2021, he was in prison.
