Media summary: After seeing 38-year-old Calvin Baronville roll through a stop sign, Officers Jeremy Pergerson and Maxwell Persons, pursued his Chevy Tahoe as he tried to evade them, at times exceeding 70 mph. The officers reportedly lost sight of Baronville but, as they drove up to Ferguson Drive, then saw he had crashed into two other vehicles. When Pergerson and Persons approached Baronville, he got out of his car and ran, ignoring police commands to stop. Persons used his Taser, striking Baronville on the head and torso. A 23-year-old woman who was the passenger in the vehicle Baronville struck was killed.
