William Dale Jeffries died July 16, some 15 days after suffering a neck injury in a scuffle with officer Eric Riddle. Police were called to a disturbance involving Jeffries, who was believed to be drunk and reportedly urinating in public near a business. Riddle approached Jeffries and asked him to take a breathalyzer. Jeffries reportedly refused, leaned against the police cruiser, and resisted attempts by Riddle to subdue him. Jeffries hit his head on the cruiser, which was apparently when his neck snapped. Riddle was cleared.
