WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE MIDDLEFIELD POLICE OFFICERS ON A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION AND THEN WATCH THE SHOOT OUT WITH THE MAN STOPPED AND THE OFFICERS.

THIS IS GRAPHIC CONTENT. IT SHOWS HOW A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP GOES FROM ROUTINE TO FULL COMBAT WITHIN SECONDS WITHOUT ANY WARNING

Middlefield Police have released the dash cam footage of the deadly March 10 officer-involved shooting in which a Mentor-on-the-Lake man was killed and two officers were injured.

The nearly 2 1/2 minute video begins by showing Officers Brandon Savage and Erin Thomas driving southbound at about 5:55 p.m. on Route 608, when a green Saturn failed to stop at the intersection of 608 and East High Street.

The officers enacted the traffic stop a short distance north of the intersection. As the officers prepared to approach the vehicle, the video appears to show the officers discussing movement in the Saturn.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS REMEMBER... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP ANYMORE.
