OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Around 2:30 p.m., dispatch received a call from a passerby who said an SUV was stopped in the middle of the road, and the driver appeared to be slumped over the wheel. Two Arlington officers responded to the call. One of the officers tried to talk to the driver and told him to stay where he was. The driver fled. The driver stopped briefly, at which point one of the officers told him he was under arrest and that he should shut off his vehicle. The driver again fled. The officers again pursued. The driver drove to a cul-de-sac and made a U-turn and allegedly began driving in the direction of one of the officers, who had stopped, exited his vehicle, and was standing near his open door. As the vehicle moved towards him, the officer shot and killed him. Officer Robert Phillips was fired from the agency two days later for violations of policy.
