Marlon Brown fled from an attempted traffic stop, first in the vehicle he was driving, and then on foot. A minute later, as Brown ran through a field, two DeLand police officers who heard the call over the radio followed in their patrol cars. One of the police cars ended up knocking down a fence at the end of the field and ran over Brown.
