Ransom Duane McCoy

Male, White

Date of the incident: 5/29/2014

Bristol, Sullivan, TN
100 Keith Rd

Deputy David Clayman, recognizing McCoy from a recent arrest warrant search, said McCoy refused to stop his vehicle and rammed the front end of his cruiser to escape. Other LE joined deputies on a high speed chase until McCoy crashed through a chain link fence or after a LE cruiser blocked him, at which time he either “ran at an officer” or "repeatedly rammed his vehicle" into the cruiser. Deputy Tom Dula, standing next to McCoy's vehicle, said he commanded him to stop and then fired 8 shots, hitting him 6 times and killing him. McCoy was unarmed.
