Lewis's car spun out and stopped in a ditch. Thompson parked his patrol vehicle "approximately even" with Lewis's car and drew his weapon as he stepped out, he wrote in an incident report. Peak also noted that the crash left Lewis's car inoperable and its wheels facing away from Thompson's vehicle. Betty Lewis told CNN her husband "wasn't a violent" man, and that she believes he wasn't fleeing at all. And, in fact, Thompson told the investigator, he realized Hall's tinting was legal.
