威斯康星州佩什蒂戈镇的一场约三分钟的追逐,已演变为一项州级调查,调查试图查明一次交通拦停为何以两人在一辆副警长并未追逐的车辆中死亡告终。10月22日星期四晚发生的碰撞,也导致被追逐车辆中的两名乘员重伤。事件经过正在逐渐明朗,背后的原因仍未厘清。1 2
最初的公开说法来自威斯康星州司法部,由NBC26和WLUK报道。报道称,一名驾驶员没有停车接受马里内特县一名警长副手拦查,随后发生追逐,并在一处加油站入口附近发生碰撞。报道没有解释副警长为何试图拦停车辆,也没有认定此次追逐是否符合机构政策。1 2
从试图拦停到致命碰撞
事故发生后,紧急医疗服务人员接到呼叫。被追逐车辆中的两人因重伤被送往密尔沃基地区的医疗机构。据NBC26转述的司法部说法,没有执法人员受伤。2
三分钟,但事件经过仍不完整
大致时间显示,事件进展迅速。但这些时间无法说明车辆速度、行驶距离,或从试图拦停到碰撞之间的行驶路线。报道中的两个地点标记了已知事件经过的起点和终点,并非对两者之间全部经过的还原。2
缺失的拦停原因,是理解副警长决策的重要信息。追逐是否遵循相关政策这一尚未解决的问题同样重要。驾驶员拒绝停车或追逐时间很短,都无法回答这一政策问题。经审阅的报道也没有描述摄像证据,或提供调查人员对碰撞情况的调查结果。1 2
这里有几个不同的问题:逃逸驾驶员做了什么、副警长如何进行追逐,以及碰撞由什么原因造成。报道所述的事件经过是审视这些问题的相关证据,但不是对法律责任的最终认定。把它视为最终认定,就会超越调查目前所能得出的结论。
州级审查将查明什么
威斯康星州司法部刑事调查处(DCI)牵头调查这起涉及执法人员的重大事件。威斯康星州巡警、马里内特警察局和一名DCI犯罪现场响应专家协助调查。司法部表示,相关执法机构正在配合,调查人员则审查证据并确定事件发生的情况。2
根据机构政策,警长办公室安排该副警长承担行政职务。这是报道所述的人事安排,并不意味着认定副警长违反了政策,也不代表其已被证明无责。最初的报道没有给出追逐是否合规的结论,因此不应将这一行政安排视为对此问题的替代判断。1 2
DCI完成调查后,将把调查报告移交给马里内特县地方检察官。最初的报道没有说明完成日期。之后的移交属于调查程序的一步,并非已宣布的起诉决定;经审阅的报道没有提供最终责任认定或起诉结果。2
因此,接下来值得关注的进展,不只是确认调查仍在继续,而是证据将如何说明拦停尝试、追逐和撞击的情况,以及检方收到完整报告后会采取什么行动。在此之前,死亡事实已经明确,但有关事发前决策和情况的重要问题仍悬而未决。
播出原貌 10 行
- A fleeing vehicle struck another car, killing both people inside. Two people in the pursued vehicle suffered severe injuries, and state investigators are examining the deputy’s pursuit. How that pursuit was conducted, and what led to the collision, are still under investigation.
- The collision happened in the Town of Peshtigo, in Wisconsin’s Marinette County, on Thursday evening. A county sheriff’s deputy had tried to stop a vehicle carrying two people. The driver kept going, and the deputy began a pursuit.
- Both people in the vehicle that was struck were pronounced dead at the scene. The two occupants of the pursued vehicle suffered severe injuries and were taken to medical facilities in the Milwaukee area.
- Emergency medical services were called to the crash. The collision happened near a gas-station entrance at Old Peshtigo Road and Country Meadows Road. That location was about three minutes into the pursuit.
- The deputy had attempted the stop near Pine Street and Maple Street. The pursued vehicle then collided with another vehicle carrying two people near the gas-station entrance. Investigators are reviewing the circumstances surrounding that collision.
- The deputy attempted the stop at about six thirty-eight that evening. By about six forty-one, the pursued vehicle had crashed. Those roughly three minutes span the attempted stop, the driver’s refusal to stop, and the pursuit that ended in the collision.
- The sheriff’s office placed the deputy on administrative duty under its policy. No law enforcement officers were hurt. State investigators are continuing to review evidence and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
- The Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the inquiry. The Wisconsin State Patrol, Marinette Police Department and a DCI Crime Response Specialist are assisting. The Justice Department says the law enforcement agencies involved are cooperating with investigators.
- The reason for the attempted stop and whether the deputy’s decisions followed pursuit policy remain unresolved. Investigators still have to determine the circumstances of the pursuit and collision before their findings go to prosecutors.
- There’s no specified completion date for the investigation. Once DCI finishes its work, it will turn its investigative reports over to the Marinette County District Attorney.
