A Florida man was arrested after allegedly going on a violent rampage after a minor fender-bender, slashing and stabbing the occupants of a car, then running over and killing a woman who had been riding in another nearby vehicle.
Casey Weldon Till, 26, of Haines City, faces murder and carjacking charges after the attacks involving family members traveling in two vehicles.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office tracked Till to his home through a pill bottle left at the scene late Sunday night. Police allege that he killed Odalis Cespedes, 41, by running her over twice. Till told police he was high on crack at the time.
The violence apparently unfolded after Till's minivan slammed into a stopped car being driven by Cespedes' daughter, 19-year-old Ivon Despaigne, and her boyfriend, 21-year-old Angel Gonzalez, of Kissimmee. When the couple got out to check the damage, Till allegedly slashed Gonzalez's throat and stabbed Despaigne in the neck.
Investigators say Till then got into the couple's car and repeatedly rammed the vehicle ahead, occupied by Cespedes, her husband, 41-year-old Mario Despaigne, and their 6-month-old granddaughter.
The couple got their granddaughter out of the car seat and Cespedes was trying to flee with the baby in her arms when she was killed, Mario Despaigne said in an interview with The Ledger, which was conducted through an interpreter.
Mario Despaigne said Till drove over his wife's leg, then ran over her again after seeing she was still moving. Despaigne said he grabbed the baby. Then Gonzalez got into Till's van and hit him, then tried to back over him, but Till rolled out of the way, according to the arrest report.
Till then allegedly ran back to his van, ignoring commands to stop from a Lake Hamilton police officer who happened upon the scene. Till sped off, hitting officer David Hurst in the arm and midsection with the van's open door.
Till had locked himself in his bathroom and cut his wrists by the time investigators found him, the report said. He allegedly admitted the attacks to his wife and mother.
The police report listed Gonzalez and Ivon Despaigne in critical condition, but a local hospital would not provide information about their condition Tuesday.
Till was being held Tuesday in the Polk County Jail on charges of murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, carjacking and improper exhibition of a weapon. It was not immediately known if Till had an attorney.

Hurst was trying to help the family when Till returned. Hurst unholstered a .45-caliber handgun, positioned himself at Till's front driver's side door and demanded Till exit the minivan.
Till didn't obey. He revved the engine, put the minivan in gear and drove off, striking Hurst's arm and body with the vehicle's open door, according to the affidavit. The officer wasn't hurt.

man of the hour...
Cops usually only shoot unarmed men.

What happens after all the shooting is the most disturbing...they didn't give two shits whether he was alive or not...
Rookie or vet, how long will you sit across from a man who in your opinion has a gun and is telling you he will shot you, all the while knowing this could be the last breath you take should he decide to make that move? If a man is telling me he is going to shot me, I belive him. If you dont, you are a fool.
Give me a break…a fucking elementary school counselor could have talked that guy down...
The dumbass cop sicked the dog on him and he threw a shoe at it...BOOM...dog never even made it up the steps to the guy before he was shot also...81 shots...
Ask a few questions: Why were they there in the first place, how long had they been on scene before the video started, did they know who they were dealing with prior to the call, does the guy have a history of violence, had they ever been to this location before.....allquestions that should be answered before making an opinion I should think. You have the answers to these questions or are you going off what you got out of the video?
I'm simply basing my opinion on the video...The guy never made a move and was talking to them... From what I see, there was absolutely no reason to let the dog go...
Why did they let the dog go?...from wiki...
"after nearly a half hour of unsuccessful negotiations between Brunston and police, one of the officers called the K9 Department Head, Lieutenant Patrick Maxwell, who, from his cell phone at a party, issued a firm order to release the K9 police dog upon the suspect. A few minutes later and practically all at the same time, the K9 dog sprinted toward Brunston, Brunston tossed the flip-flop at the dog, the police open fired at the suspect (they shot at him 81 times) and a split second before the K-9 attacked the retreating suspect, the K-9 was shot (and stopped) by flying police bullets."

We just had a stand off here last week where the man was taunting the Swat team (Giving the come here motions with his hand, shooting the bird). Negotiations lasted for two hours and it was evident that the guy was not going to give up. In theory, the swat team had to go in and get the guy out unharmed, in reality, the guy did not want to come out peacefully. The guy never said a word to negotiators during this time, only the hand gestures.
As the swat team went up to put gas in, the guy shot at them hitting one. Needless to say, it ended badly for both the team and the bad guy. One team member hit and bad guy dead. It was 45 minutes from the first shot to the last.
I guess the point I am trying to make is, these bad guys know what the end result will be if they say or make an action that threatens the life of anyone. This is why it is suicide by cop not to give up. He forced their hand.
As far as letting the dog go, he was told it would happen for 40 minutes. That’s 40 minutes he had to sit and think about it before it happened. Agencies vary on tactics due to the size of an agency and how busy they are. If this was an active department, they may cant wait more then that to handle a situation like this because of call volume and manpower. It sucks to have more then one stand off at a time!
