City : Fayetteville
County : Washington
State : Arkansas
Agency : Fayetteville PD
Officer(s) :Cpl. Stevon Grindstaff
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during traffic stop
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Fayetteville PD traffic-stopped Scotty Stacie and allege he backed up the vehicle during the traffic stop, causing the officer to shoot and kill him. Stacey was described by his friends as a “good guy”, a race car driver, someone who bothered nobody. Fayetteville PD claims Stacey landed in a field and reversed to try to get out when a deputy appeared behind him, claimed Stacey was “driving toward him” and shot and killed him in the moving vehicle. Police did not release their bodycam and dashcam videos and this is a still unproven police narrative. Stacey had been charged with personal drug possession and fleeing from police months before his death. He was well-known in the area and police may have targeted him because of old charges.
Officer Grindstaff was arrested on 03/11/2024 and charged with homicide.
