The vehicle was driven by 17 year old Luke T. Gary of Windsor. Two other passengers in the truck were identified as 17 year old James E. Lysinger Jr. of Clinton and 19 year old James L. Mcintire of Urich.

The occupants of the vehicle refused to answer any further questions about the alleged robbery. Consent was given to Sergeant Scott to search the vehicle and the occupants were asked to exit and were patted down.

Instead of staying still, Lysinger pulled away from Sergeant Scott, striking Sergeant Scott in the mouth in the process. Lysinger attempted to run away but was unable to completely break free of Sgt. Scott’s grip. He was taken to the ground and placed in handcuffs.
