Officer Making Stop Dragged to His Death

A Cincinnati police officer trying to stop a car driven by a 12-year-old boy was dragged about 800 feet to his death as he tried to snatch the keys out of the ignition, police said. The officer shot the boy to death. Officer Kevin Crayon, 40, died of head injuries sustained when he fell from the moving car, according to authorities. The driver, Courtney Mathis, died about four hours later after undergoing emergency surgery at Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Witnesses to the confrontation in a convenience store parking lot told police that Crayon reached into the car after Courtney refused to show the officer a driver’s license.
