The incident occurred as Deputy Jennesse was first approaching the location of Moreland, who was in the left thru lane of the roadway. It was approximately 5:32 a.m., and low lighting conditions may have contributed to reduced visibility, as Moreland was reportedly lying or crouched in the roadway. Investigators confirmed that Moreland was the subject of the lewd behavior report. They stated that excessive speed was not a factor in the crash, and it remains unclear if Moreland was within a marked crosswalk. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation.

City : Belcourt
County : Rolette
State : North Dakota
Agency : Turtle Mountain Tribal Police operating under Bureau of Indian Affairs contract
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Driver killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 04/24/2024, law enforcement from the Turtle Mountain Tribal Police engaged in a vehicle pursuit on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Rolette County. Russell Charette was a passenger in the vehicle being pursued. According to a federal lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court under the Federal Tort Claims Act, Charette exited or fell from the moving vehicle during the chase and came to rest on or near the roadway. The lawsuit alleges that the tribal police officer continued the pursuit with severely limited visibility due to a dust cloud on the gravel road and drove a patrol vehicle directly into the area where Charette was located, striking him. Charette was transported to Quentin N. Burdick Memorial Health Care Facility in Belcourt, where he later died from his injuries. The complaint argues that the officer violated Bureau of Indian Affairs pursuit policy by continuing the chase under conditions that posed excessive risk to public safety. The family is seeking damages related to the death.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 04/20/2024, at approximately 9:00 p.m., Ada County Sheriff's Deputy Tobin Bolter conducted a traffic stop near W. Overland Road and S. Raymond Street in Boise. As Deputy Bolter approached the vehicle, the driver, identified as 65-year-old Dennis Mulqueen, shot him through the driver's side window. Mulqueen then fled the scene. Responding officers located Mulqueen's abandoned vehicle near S. Dorian Street and W. Roosevelt Street. A perimeter was established, and after an hour of failed negotiations, the Boise Police Department's Special Operations Unit advanced on Mulqueen's position. Mulqueen fired at the officers, striking a tactical shield. Detective Josh Sontag returned fire, hitting Mulqueen twice. Mulqueen was transported to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The Bonner County Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the incident and determined that Detective Sontag's use of deadly force was justified under Idaho law.
