Date of birth 511 of 94 511 94. Break. Can you just note the male gave me a fictitious name of Jacob Jones with a date of birth of 113094? >> The information provided didn't match the official records. On further inquiry, the driver was identified as 28-year-old Brent Thompson, a habitual traffic offender. Not only was his driver's license revoked, records also showed two prior incidents where he used the same false identification. You got hauling down the window for me? >> Yeah, I'm sorry. It's just a cat and then I was taking my nicotine. >> Gotcha. Can you step out for me? >> Yeah. What's the problem? Uh, please stay. >> Um, can I roll out the window? >> That's fine.

It was a miracle Thompson was still breathing. But one question remained. Why did he run? What was he trying to hide? The truth surfaced soon after. Inside Thompson's car, officers discovered drug paraphernalia, narcotics, seven cell phones, and a sig sour 1911 handgun, exposing what he'd really been running from. >> Guess we need to shut down him up the ramp. All right. >> Hey, Bordo, can you take over? >> Yeah. >> Ready? >> Yep. >> Three, two, one. Let me know when I'm good, man. What do you need? >> We need someone to get this guy's info.

EMS rushed Thompson to the hospital, but he was pronounced deceased at 10:01 p.m. The autopsy revealed severe, unreoverable injuries to his ribs, pelvis, lung, heart, and other vital areas, which ultimately proved fatal. Additionally, the toxicology report revealed traces of alcohol and a high concentration of fentanyl in Thompson's bloodstream. >> Um, there is taser wires somewhere over here. >> I think they broke off. We should Still have good probes getting him in his back. >> Okay. >> Thanks. >> You guys need mine again? >> Yeah, they'll probably gave a bogus name. When we confirmed him about his real name, he took on. >> All right. So, uh, interstate was clear. You tased him. When he went down, the car freaking hit him. >> The incident prompted a critical incident response team investigation, which found no criminal liability for deputy Lorenzo Lugan. The driver who struck Brent, was also cleared of any criminal responsibility. By August 2024, Lammer County reached a $5 million settlement with Thompson's family. And that's a wrap on this case. So, do you think the officer could have done more to save him? Should anyone be held accountable? Or was Thompson's own impaired state the real cause of his fate?
