On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at approximately 1802 hours, Jerry Sanstead committed three felonious violations
of Arizona law, ARS 13-1103B (Manslaughter), ARS 13-1204.A1 (Aggravated Assault), and ARS 13-1201A
(Endangerment), when he was driving his black Mercedes convertible northbound on State Route 101 near
McDowell and struck a Chevrolet Cobalt and Officer Townsend, killing him.
Sanstead was texting while driving and distracted himself from driving safely when for over a third of a mile he
drove without ever noticing red and blue emergency lights from Officer Townsends vehicle. Sanstead drifted over
three lanes and into the shoulder causing the fatal collision. Sanstead admitted he knew he was driving distracted
and that it was not safe to do so.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
DR NUMBER: AZ1900009203
This supplemental report was authored by Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS)
Special Investigations Unit (SIU) Detective G. Sandoval #5874.
On January 9, 2019, at approximately 0728 hours, I was contacted by DPS SIU

Sergeant Phillips, #6284, regarding a fatal collision involving a Salt River Police Officer
that had occurred the previous evening on the Loop 101, near McDowell Road.
Phillips advised the suspect involved was being treated at Maricopa Medical Center.
Philips asked I contact DPS Sergeant Cody Mullenaux, #6320, and relieve a state
trooper standing watch over the suspect.
Mullenaux advised Trooper R. Peterson, #6465, was the trooper assigned to the
suspect.
At approximately 0815 hours, I arrived at Maricopa Medical Center located at 2601 East
Roosevelt Street, Phoenix, AZ. .
Peterson pointed to a white male lying on a gurney in the triage area and verbally
identified him as Jerry Sanstead, date of birth . Peterson related Sanstead
was in custody.
Upon my initial observation, Sanstead was lying on his back. He had a neck brace on
his left wrist and was handcuffed to the gurney.
The nurse in the triage identified herself as S. Monroe and was assigned to Sanstead,
who was under the care of Doctor Stowell.
At approximately 0825 hours, Monroe asked for the handcuff to be loosened. When I
approached Sanstead, he requested an additional handcuff be added so he could have
more mobility. For safety reasons, his request was denied.
At approximately 0834 hours, Monroe advised Sanstead’s condition was stable and she
was waiting for his Computerized Tomography (CT) scan results. If the CT scans
indicated no issues, he would be discharged.
When I asked S. Monroe what the extent of Sanstead’s injuries were, she related he
had suffered an injury to the left side of his tongue from him biting it. She indicated this
type of injury was consistent with seizures.
At approximately 0940 hours, Monroe advised Sanstead needed to get up and walk
around. As I removed and adjusted the handcuffs, Stanstead stated, “This is my life
now.” Sanstead was handcuffed in front and I walked with the nurse and Sanstead back

Sanstead asked if I could contact his wife. I advised him he could contact his wife once
he was booked at the jail.

transported Sanstead to the 4th Avenue Jail located at 201 S. 4th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ.
.

On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at approximately 2354 hours, I was notified by the Arizona
Department of Public Safety (DPS), Vehicular Crimes Unit (VCU) Sergeant Jeremey Bulger,
#6754, I would be attending the autopsy of Salt River Police Department (SRPD) Officer
Clayton Townsend. Bulger requested I respond to the Maricopa County Office of the Medical
Examiner (MCOME) at 0730 hours, on Wednesday, January 9, 2019.
Arrival
On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, at approximately 0725 hours, I arrived at the MCOME, located
at 701 West Jefferson Street, Phoenix, Arizona. When I arrived, I spoke with Judy, the front desk
receptionist. Judy stated the autopsy was scheduled for 1000 hours.
Investigative Actions
At approximately 1025 hours, Doctor William Stano started the autopsy. I stayed and observed
the entire autopsy. No items of evidentiary value were obtained during the autopsy. Stano stated
Townsend sustained severe blunt-force trauma to the head, to include fractures. Stano stated this
was his preliminary finding to the cause of death. Stano stated his final determination for the
cause and manner of death would not be known until the autopsy report was finalized and
released.
Prior to my departure from the MCOME, I requested the autopsy photographs and a copy of the
autopsy report upon completion. All known facts from the autopsy were passed along to
Sergeant Bulger, #6754, and DPS VCU Detective Jacob Melki, #7155.
On Thursday, January 10, 2019, at approximately 0900 hours, I received a Compact Disc (CD)
from the MCOME. The contents on the CD were the autopsy photographs taken on Wednesday,
January 9, 2019.
At approximately 0937 hours, I received an envelope marked “Confidential” from the SRPD
Records Department, located at 10005 East Osborn Road, Scottsdale, Arizona. The contents
within the envelope were the radio traffic, 9-1-1 calls, and the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)
log from SRPD.

At approximately 1007 hours, I gave the autopsy photograph CD and the envelope from SRPD to

On Thursday, January 17, 2019, at approximately 0930 hours, I was present at the DPS Property
and Evidence, Knutson Station vehicle lot, located at 2610 South 16th Street, Phoenix, Arizona. I
observed DPS Computer Forensics Unit (CFU) Detectives John Barahona, #6801, and Sean
Duffy, #6168, remove the hard drive housing unit for the on-board video system from the
marked SRPD patrol pickup, Evidence Item #JCM14. Once removed, Barahona retained custody
of the housing unit so the hard drive could be extracted later in the DPS CFU office. The housing
unit was designated as Evidence Item #JCM14.1. The vehicle was locked and secured in the
vehicle lot upon completion.
This concluded my involvement into the investigation to date.

General Report
Author: #7155 MELKI, J.
This initial investigative report has been prepared by Detective J. Melki, #7155, from the
Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), to support charging Mr. Jerry Sanstead Jr.
(Sanstead) with one count of Manslaughter, a violation of A.R.S. §13-1103. B., one count of
Aggravated Assault, a violation of A.R.S. §13-1204. A.1, and one count of Endangerment, a
violation of A.R.S. §13-1201. A.
The facts and circumstances surrounding the arrest of Sanstead will be documented in this report,
supplemental reports authored by DPS Vehicular Crimes Unit (VCU) detectives, supplemental
reports authored by DPS Troopers and detectives, interviews with victims and witnesses,
photographs, a diagram of the crime scene, video from a police vehicle and police body worn
camera, and other supportive documentation.
This investigation revealed Sanstead was the driver of a vehicle involved in a two-vehicle fatal
collision that resulted in the death of Salt River Police Department (SRPD) Officer Clayton
Townsend, #307. Sanstead is known to have collided with Officer Townsend, who had made a
traffic stop on Alfred Carmelo Calimeri, date of birth . Calimeri was injured because of
the collision.
Through investigation and interviews with Sanstead and witnesses, I learned Sanstead drove his
vehicle while texting on his cellular phone, which distracted him to the point he drifted across
several lanes of traffic and collided with Officer Townsend and Calimeri’s vehicle.
I am a member of the DPS VCU, and have specialized training and experience related to
collisions and vehicular crimes. My primary responsibility is to leverage my training and
experience while interpreting and documenting collision scenes, most of which involve criminal
conduct. By evaluating the collision scenes and vehicle dynamics, in conjunction with witness
statements and statements from those involved in crashes, I routinely provide expert opinions as
it relates to these events.
Investigative Summary:
On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at approximately 1802 hours, Officer Townsend conducted a
traffic stop on a white 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt around northbound State Route 101 (SR101), near
milepost 50. Officer Townsend stopped the Cobalt for an expired Arizona registration and the
driver of the vehicle yielded to the right shoulder of SR101, between McKellips and McDowell
Roads.
General Report Continued
SR101 consisted of seven total lanes to include, one high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, five
travel lanes, and one entrance/exit lane. The right shoulder was wide enough for the Cobalt to
safely remain stationery and still leave approximately five feet of distance to a cement wall that
bordered the roadway. It is important to note the northbound lanes are straight in the area of the
collision. Because the roadway was straight, with no known defects, only a few factors would
explain the collision, impairment, fatigue, mechanical issues or tire failure, an intentional act, or
in the case, distracted driving.
Officer Townsend was driving a white 2016 Ford F-150, marked SRPD police truck, bearing an
Arizona license plate of G412HN, VIN number: 1FTEW1CG5GKE19205, and listed as SRPD
vehicle number 30-0433. The vehicle was equipped with overhead red and blue emergency
lights, which were activated when he stopped the Cobalt and at the time Sanstead collided with
Officer Townsend and Calimeri’s vehicle. Witnesses to the collision stated they could see
Officer Townsend’s police vehicle from more than a quarter mile away, and I verified this fact.
The SRPD police truck was equipped with a WatchGuard Dash-Cam that was activated at the
time of the stop and collision and was recording audio of the vehicle’s interior cab. Officer
Townsend was wearing a SRPD dark colored uniform, consisting of a dark colored ballcap with
“Salt River Police” written on it, a long sleeve dark colored shirt with SRPD patches at the
shoulders and a dark colored outer-vest carrier. The outer-vest carrier had a body-worn
WatchGuard camera fastened to it and it was activated at the time of the traffic stop and
collision. Officer Townsend was wearing a dark colored duty-belt and dark colored pants.
After stopping Calimeri, Officer Townsend exited his vehicle, walked forward between his
vehicle and Calimeri’s vehicle to make a passenger side approach. Officer Townsend was
holding a flashlight in his left hand during the approach and it was turned on. He leaned down
while flashing the light into the passenger front window of the Cobalt and then almost
immediately walked back behind the Cobalt, making a driver side approach. Officer Townsend
looked towards traffic before making the approach to Calimeri. To this point, more than two
dozen vehicles had driven by Officer Townsend without incident. It should noted that hundreds
of traffics stops occur on Arizona highways daily and it is a routine practice.
It was after dusk, making the emergency lighting on Officer Townsend’s vehicle even more
pronounced and visible, but there was still limited natural lighting present. Overhead highway
street lights were activated illuminating the roadway and traffic was heavy but flowing smoothly.
Based upon my experience working that area as a trooper for a year and a half, visibility of red
and blue emergency lights is easily identifiable.
Page 2 of 9
After approximately 12 seconds, while at the driver side window, a black 2008 Mercedes
convertible passenger car traveled from the number 4 traffic lane, through the number 5 traffic
lane, through the entrance/exit lane and then into the shoulder where it struck the driver side rear
corner of the Cobalt and then Officer Townsend. The Mercedes, driven by Sanstead, rotated
clockwise as it continued forward and flung Officer Townsend into the air. The Mercedes’ front
end struck the cement wall and then rolled back approximately 3-4 feet where it ultimately came
to rest facing east and blocking the exit lane.
Officer Townsend landed on the right shoulder, on the north side of the Mercedes, lying near its
driver front tire. According to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner, Officer Townsend
suffered severe head trauma because of the collision, which resulted in his death.
The Cobalt was pushed forward and to the east into the cement wall where it ultimately traveled
back onto the roadway in an uncontrollable manner and came to rest in the #4 lane facing traffic.
A witness to the collision, traveling in a white passenger van, pulled over to the right shoulder
immediately after the collision. He and his passengers (four total), rendered assistance. The
good Samaritans directed traffic away from the scene and reported the incident to 911 dispatch.
Aspen Dir, a passenger in the white van, called 911 and informed them she believed a woman
was ejected from the black Mercedes and the woman was deceased. Dir also stated there was a
SRPD vehicle on-scene but didn’t know where the officer was. After the initial confusion,
SRPD dispatch tried to reach Officer Townsend over the police radio to check his welfare but
was unsuccessful in reaching him.
At approximately 1806 hours, the DPS Operational Communications Center (dispatch), was
informed by SRPD of the blocking collision.
SRPD Officer Medinaku-Dubois, #308, Lieutenant Holloway, #L165, and Officer Hotchkin,
#331, were the first police officers to arrive to the scene at approximately 1812 hours and
informed their dispatch that Officer Townsend was the person involved in the collision. The Salt
River Fire Department arrived on-scene at approximately the same time, 1812 hours, and started
to render aid to the involved parties.
At approximately 1814 hours, DPS Highway Patrol Division (HPD), Sergeant Cody Warren,
#7197, arrived on scene and subsequently initiated “McDowell Command” and informed DPS
dispatch that Salt River Rescue 291 was transporting Officer Townsend to HonorHealth
Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center (SOMC), located at 7400 East Osborn Road, Scottsdale,
Arizona 85251.
Page 3 of 9
Sergeant Warren, #7197, notified DPS dispatch at approximately 1826 hours, Salt River Rescue
292 was transporting Calimeri to SOMC as well.
Officer Townsend was pronounced deceased by SOMC medical staff at approximately 1835
hours. Sergeant Warren, #7197, requested additional units to the scene and notified the Major
Crimes District (MCD), Commander, of the situation. A crime scene with inner and outer
perimeters was established using yellow police tape and all the involved parties were moved to a
separate area.
At approximately 1857 hours, I was telephonically contacted by VCU Sergeant Michael Hunt,
#6680, and requested to respond to the scene. I departed my residence at approximately 1913
hours and arrived at the scene at approximately 1947 hours.
Briefing:
At approximately 1950 hours, I attended a briefing led by SRPD Sergeant T. Matthews, #186.
Briefing Details:
Matthews stated at approximately 1802 hours, Officer Townsend stopped a white passenger car
for a registration violation around SR101 and McDowell Road. At approximately 1804 hours,
SRPD 911 was called about a collision in area, but the caller mentioned an injured female. Three
officers from SRPD responded at approximately 1812 hours and discovered Officer Townsend
unresponsive.
The SRPD officers cut the outer-vest carrier off Officer Townsend and he was then transported
to SOMC. Witnesses to the collision were located, all from one vehicle, and they were standing
by waiting to be interviewed. The SRPD case number for the incident is 2019-1106.
Secondary briefing (immediately following the first): Led by DPS Sergeant Warren, #7197.
DPS dispatch was routed a call from SRPD dispatch about a collision involving an ejection of a
female at approximately 1806 hours. Sergeant Warren, #7197, was first to respond to the scene
and discovered the nature of the event. Sergeant Warren started an incident command and
notified the Major Crimes District. The male driver of the black Mercedes was identified by his
Arizona license as Jerry Sanstead Jr., date of birth , and he was with a police officer
waiting to be interviewed.
Investigative Details:
I met with Sergeant Hunt, #6680, VCU Detectives Brian Hon, #7071, Joe Ritchie, #6515, and
Sean O’Bryant, #5501, for duty assignments. Detectives Hon and O’Bryant were tasked with
interviewing Jerry Sanstead and Detective Ritchie was tasked with interviewing the witnesses
from the white van. I was assigned as the case detective and assisted with numerous tasks.
Page 4 of 9
I met with Troopers Ryan Reeves, #7470, Alan Olson, #6606, Mikel Moreno, #10073, and
Sergeant Brent Leslie, #4720, who were assigned to the scene investigation and to measure and
diagram the scene using a Leica TotalStation 12.
At approximately 2027 hours, I did an initial walk-through of the scene with the troopers and
identified multiple tire friction marks, items of evidence, and coordinated with the troopers on
their responsibilities.
The scene was cordoned off by police tape, there were three SRPD trucks on the right shoulder,
with Officer Townsend’s truck at the front. Officer Townsend’s vehicle did not sustain any
damage as a result of the collision. Another SRPD vehicle was blocking the #3 traffic lane, on
the west side of the scene, and was being used as a border for the yellow police tape. All the
police vehicles had their emergency red and blue lights activated and the dash-cameras were
recording. In front of the police trucks, a black convertible Mercedes was facing east,
perpendicular to the roadway, blocking the far-right lane and shoulder. The Mercedes had
significant front-end damage, concentrated more on the passenger front corner, signifying the
principle direction of force. The damage started at the front passenger corner and was directed
towards the driver’s area.
Tire friction marks were visible leading up to the black Mercedes. The arched tire marks began
in the far-right lane and signified a clockwise rotation of the Mercedes. Located south of the
Mercedes were two handgun magazines, several loose rounds of ammunition, a pupilometer, and
a Salt River police ballcap. On the right shoulder, in the area of the tire friction marks from the
Mercedes, was a singular tire friction mark that was consistent with a stopped vehicle being
pushed forward. The striations in the tire friction mark were straight and evenly separated, which
is consistent with a locked tire skidding across a surface.
To the immediate north of the black Mercedes, was a front panel of a ballistic vest outer-carrier
and a large pool of blood. The ballistic vest was face down, with the side that would be worn
against the chest, facing upward. To the north of the vest was a spotted trail of blood, signifying
Officer Townsend was moved.
A white Chevrolet Cobalt was blocking the #4 lane of travel and was facing southwest against
traffic. The Cobalt sustained damage to the driver’s rear corner, signifying the principle direction
of force towards the front passenger side. The Cobalt had a large Tupperware bin lying on the
passenger seat, which was blocking the view through the front passenger window.
After the walk-through, I assisted Detective Ritchie, #6515, with an interview at approximately
2116 hours. Detective Ritchie interviewed Nicholas Johnson, date of birth , who was a
witness, and the driver of a white Chrysler Town & Country van.
Page 5 of 9
Nicholas Johnson interview summary:

Johnson was driving a white Chrysler van and had four other occupants in the vehicle. He was
driving on SR101 northbound and entered the freeway several miles back but was not sure of the
street name. As he was traveling northbound in the #5 traffic lane, which is near right side of the
freeway, he observed a police vehicle off on the right shoulder with its red and blue lights on,
making it clear Officer Townsend’s vehicle and his emergency lights were visible to attentive
drivers. Johnson saw the police vehicle from a far-away distance and decided to slow down to
approximately 45mph to pass the officer safely. Approximately 10 seconds before reaching the
police officer, a black Mercedes convertible, with the top down, passed him on his left, the #4
lane. As the Mercedes passed him, he observed the driver, Sanstead, in the vehicle. Johnson said
he could see the male driver, who was wearing shorts, had his left hand on the steering wheel and
a cell phone in his right hand, which was down by the center console. Johnson couldn’t discern if
the driver was doing anything with the phone other than holding it, but the Mercedes passed him
and then continued moving to the right towards the officer, drifting through three lanes of traffic.
Johnson said he could see that shortly before the crash, the driver of the Mercedes was still
looking down at his phone, then the Mercedes struck the police officer and car. Johnson stopped
on the right shoulder immediately after the crash.
Johnson and his occupants ran back to render aid, conduct traffic control, and checked on
injuries. The driver of the Mercedes told Johnson that he would be ok if he could find his phone
when Johnson asked if he was injured.
DPS MCD Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Detectives Robert Olshaskie, #7027, and Justin
Fyfe, #7460, responded to SOMC to conduct an interview with victim/witness Alfred Calimeri.
The interview started at approximately 2134 hours and ended at approximately 2143 hours.
Calimeri consented to a release of his medical records and they were obtained by Detective Fyfe
on 01/09/19.
Alfred Calimeri interview summary:
Calimeri said he was northbound on SR101 and was stopped by a police officer for an expired
registration. The officer approached him at the driver side and told him his registration was
expired and then the crash happened. Calimeri said traffic was heavy but was flowing. After the
collision happened he was facing south in the middle of the highway, still in his vehicle. A
passerby stopped and told him to stay in his vehicle and he didn’t know any other details about
what occurred. Calimeri was treated and released from SOMC, he suffered shoulder and back
pain, as well as a S1 closed fracture of the sacrum.
Page 6 of 9
Detective Hon, #7071, and Detective O’Bryant, #5501, interviewed Sanstead in Detective
O’Bryant’s unmarked police vehicle while at the scene. Detective Hon sat on the driver’s seat,
Detective O’Bryant sat on the rear driver’s seat, and Sanstead sat on the front passenger seat. The
interview started at approximately 2027 hours and ended at approximately 2127 hours. Sanstead
was mirandized at 2054 hours.
Jerry Sanstead interview summary:
Sanstead said he finished working with a patient near Ellsworth and Baseline Roads in Mesa, AZ
at approximately 1700 hours and was headed home. On his way home, he stopped to get some
dinner at a Senor Taco’s. He traveled westbound on the State Route 202 Red Mountain Freeway
to northbound on State Route 101. Sanstead said he was in the far-right lane with his cruise
control set at 65mph. Setting the cruise control during rush hour traffic is unusual due to
fluctuating speeds, but allows Sanstead to focus on other tasks, such as using his cellular phone,
and not concentrate on his speed. He said he was either changing radio stations or texting his
wife at the time of the collision, acts of distracted driving. He said he didn’t see the actual
collision happen, validating Johnson’s statement that Sanstead was using his cellular phone, and
corroborating Sanstead’s statements of him texting or changing the radio station. The act of
changing the radio station takes a second or two, and the fact Sanstead drifted across three lanes,
and didn’t see the crash was about to occur, only makes it clear the he was inattentive and
distracted while driving.
He said after the collision, he stepped out of his vehicle and saw the officer lying on the ground
but didn’t go to him. After checking himself he called his wife to let her know what occurred.
After being advised of his Miranda Rights, he stated he understood his rights and would continue
to answer questions. Sanstead once again said he was texting his wife at the time of the
collision, an act of distracted driving. He said he was using a “text to talk” feature that would
dictate his texts, but he had to visually read the incoming texts. When sending a text, he would
dictate, then click send. These admissions make it clear Sanstead drove his vehicle while
distracted and inattentive by using his cellular phone. When asked, he admitted his cell phone
was a distraction.
Sanstead said what he thinks happened was while he was texting, the vehicle drifted, causing the
collision. He said he may have been changing the radio station or texting, but he knew he was
looking down when the collision happened. Sanstead said “Obviously this is the real deal. I
fucked up.” When asked what he meant, he said, “I rear ended somebody, I don’t even know
who I rear ended.” Again, this statement makes it clear Sanstead’s attention was distracted and
not focused on driving. This action led to the death of Officer Townsend and the injuries
Calimeri sustained.
Page 7 of 9
At approximately 2245 hours, I placed Sanstead under arrest for manslaughter, endangerment,
and aggravated assault. I conducted a search incident to arrest and placed him in the back of a
HPD marked vehicle. Detective Hon, #7071, secured Sanstead’s phone and Detective O’Bryant,
#5501, authored an affidavit in support of a search warrant. SW2019-000332 was authorized by
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michelle Carson to seize the phone and to conduct an
image of its storage devices. The phone was an iPhone Xs, model number A1920, and it was
given to DPS, ACTIC Operations District (AOD), Detective Thomas Olszak, #5625, at
approximately 2140 hours.
On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, I drove to the SRPD main office, located at 10005 E. Osborn
Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85256, and met with SRPD Detective Jared Kosina, #303. Detective Kosina
gave me four digital video discs (DVD) containing the video footage from Officer Townsend’s
WatchGuard Dash-Cam. Later that day, at approximately 2115 hours, I received a thumb drive
from Sergeant Hunt, #6680, containing the video footage of the body-camera worn by Officer
Townsend.
While reviewing the footage, I observed the following detailed information:
At 18:01:41 of the dash-cam time stamp, Officer Townsend turned westbound on McKellips
Road from N 92nd St. The microphone and emergency lights had not been activated yet.
At 18:02:10 of the dash-cam time stamp, Officer Townsend turned north onto the SR101
McKellips Rd entrance behind a white Chevrolet Cobalt. As both vehicles traversed the on-ramp,
Officer Townsend activated the emergency lights.
At 18:02:32 and the video indicates the lights and microphone are on.
At 18:02:48 of the dash-cam time stamp, the Cobalt and police truck come to a stop on the right
shoulder of the freeway.
At 18:02:56 of the dash-cam time stamp, Officer Townsend is walking in-between the two
vehicles, beginning to make a passenger side approach and SRPD dispatch is giving the
registration return of the Cobalt over the air.
At 18:03:02 of the dash-cam time stamp, Officer Townsend is at the passenger side of the Cobalt
with a flashlight in his left hand. Officer Townsend leaned down to contact the driver through the
front passenger window but could not due to Tupperware lying on the passenger seat.
At 18:03:05 of the dash-cam time stamp, Officer Townsend is at the rear-driver side of the
Cobalt, preparing to make a driver’s side approach and looks back at traffic for his safety.
Page 8 of 9
At 18:03:08 of the dash-cam time stamp, Officer Townsend is at the driver’s side window and
appears to be speaking with the driver. His head is looking down and his body canted with his
right leg near the car.
At 18:03:18 of the dash-cam time stamp, a black convertible vehicle can be seen colliding with
the driver’s rear corner of the Cobalt as the crash impulse is occurring. Officer Townsend is also
struck at that time, causing him to flip and be launched into the air.
At 18:03:19 of the dash-cam time stamp, Officer Townsend has landed on the ground but is no
longer visible in the video. The black convertible is still in motion, now perpendicular to the road
and the white Cobalt is to the north, riding along the cement barrier.
At 18:03:23 of the dash cam time-stamp, both vehicles have come to final rest. The body-worn
camera’s time stamps are in sequence with the dash-cam time stamps.
The DPS CFU has executed the search warrant on Sanstead’s cellular phone. The examination
of the phone will include the use of different software. Upon completion of the examination, a
review of the data from the cellular phone will be conducted.

Data Limitations
Recorded Crash Events:
There are two types of recorded crash events. The first is the Non-Deployment Event. A Non-Deployment Event records data but
does not deploy the air bag(s). The minimum SDM Recorded Vehicle Velocity Change, that is needed to record a Non-Deployment
Event, is five MPH. A Non-Deployment Event may contain Pre-Crash and Crash data. The SDM can store up to one Non-
Deployment Event. This event can be overwritten by an event that has a greater SDM recorded vehicle velocity change. This event
will be cleared by the SDM, after approximately 250 ignition cycles. This event can be overwritten by a second Deployment Event,
referred to as Deployment Event #2, if the Non-Deployment Event is not locked. The data in the Non-Deployment Event file will be
locked, if the Non-Deployment Event occurred within five seconds of a Deployment Event. A locked Non Deployment Event cannot
be overwritten or cleared by the SDM.
The second type of SDM recorded crash event is the Deployment Event. It also may contain Pre-Crash and Crash data. The SDM
can store up to two different Deployment Events. If a second Deployment Event occurs any time after the Deployment Event, the
Deployment Event #2 will overwrite any non-locked Non-Deployment Event. Deployment Events cannot be overwritten or cleared by
the SDM. Once the SDM has deployed an air bag, the SDM must be replaced.
Data:
-SDM Recorded Vehicle Velocity Change reflects the change in velocity that the sensing system experienced during the recorded
portion of the event. SDM Recorded Vehicle Velocity Change is the change in velocity during the recording time and is not the
speed the vehicle was traveling before the event, and is also not the Barrier Equivalent Velocity. For Deployment Events, the SDM
can record up to 220 milliseconds of data after Deployment criteria is met and up to 70 milliseconds before Deployment criteria is
met. For Non-Deployment Events, the SDM can record up to the first 300 milliseconds of data after algorithm enable. Velocity
Change data is displayed in SAE sign convention.
-The CDR tool displays time from Algorithm Enable (AE) to time of Deployment command in a Deployment event and AE to time of
maximum SDM recorded vehicle velocity change in a Non-Deployment event. Time from AE begins when the first air bag system
enable threshold is met and ends when Deployment command criteria is met or at maximum SDM recorded vehicle velocity change.
Air bag systems such as frontal, side, or rollover, may be a source of an enable. The time represented in a CDR report can be that
of the enable of one air bag system to the Deployment time of another air bag system.
-Maximum Recorded Vehicle Velocity Change is the maximum square root value of the sum of the squares for the vehicle’s
combined "X" and "Y" axis change in velocity. If a CDR Printout user were to calculate resultant velocity change using X and Y axis
time history data, the calculated value may be different than the Maximum SDM Recorded Velocity Change parameter value
displayed in the CDR report. This is due to the rounding that occurs within the SDM while calculating the Maximum SDM Recorded
Velocity Change value.
-Event Recording Complete will indicate if data from the recorded event has been fully written to the SDM memory or if it has been
1G1AK58F187250802 Page 1 of 11 Printed on: Friday, January 11 2019 at 13:43:06
interrupted and not fully written.
-SDM Recorded Vehicle Speed accuracy can be affected by various factors, including but not limited to the following:
-Significant changes in the tire’s rolling radius
-Final drive axle ratio changes
-Wheel lockup and wheel slip
-Brake Switch Circuit Status indicates the open/closed state of the brake switch circuit.
-Pre-Crash data is recorded asynchronously. The 1.0 second Pre-crash data value (most recent recorded data point) is the data
point last sampled before AE. That is to say, the last data point may have been captured just before AE but no more than 1.0
second before AE. All subsequent Pre-crash data values are referenced from this data point.
-Pre-Crash Electronic Data Validity Check Status indicates "Data Invalid" if:
-The SDM receives a message with an "invalid" flag from the module sending the pre-crash data
-No data is received from the module sending the pre-crash data
-No module is present to send the pre-crash data
-Vehicle speed, Transmission Gear Select, and Transmission Actual Gear will be marked as invalid for manual transmission
vehicles
-Pre-crash data associated with this event will always be for the first event even if it is not recorded.
-Driver’s and Passenger’s Belt Switch Circuit Status indicates the status of the seat belt switch circuit, except: The Passenger Belt
Switch Circuit Status for 2005 vehicles is available only on the Cadillac STS. The Passenger Belt Switch Circuit Status for 2006
Chevrolet Cobalt Sport Coupe (AP) model vehicles, with the option package that includes Recaro brand seats (RPO ALV), always
reports a default value of "Buckled," because there is no passenger belt switch with the Recaro seat option. The Passenger Belt
Switch Circuit Status for 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and 2010 Pontiac G5 vehicles, with RPO Z49, will report a default value of
"Buckled". The Passenger Belt Switch Circuit Status for 2010 and 2011 Chevrolet HHR, with the LS or LT trim package and RPO
Z49, will report a default value of "Buckled".
-The Time Between Non-Deployment to Deployment Events is displayed in seconds. If the time between the two events is greater
than five seconds, "N/A" is displayed in place of the time. If the value is negative, then the Deployment Event occurred first. If the
value is positive, then the Non-Deployment Event occurred first. Time Between events is measured from end of one event to the
beginning of a next event. An event may occur within 5 seconds of another event, known as an extended event. This occurs when
three or more sequential events are separated by more than 5 seconds but each event in the sequence is no more than 5 seconds
apart from a subsequent event. Pre-crash data is locked to the first event in an extended event.
-If power to the SDM is lost during a crash event, all or part of the crash record may not be recorded.
-The ignition cycle counter relies upon the transitions through OFF->RUN->CRANK power-moding messages, on the GMLAN
communication bus, to increment the counter. Applying and removing of battery power to the module will not increment the ignition
counter.
-Steering Wheel Angle data is reported in 16 degree increments. 2005 through 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2005 and 2006 Pontiac
Pursuit, 2007 through 2010 Pontiac G5, and 2006 through 2011 Chevrolet HHR, do not record Steering Wheel Angle data and
should not be relied upon.
-If more than one event is recorded, use the follow to determine which event the Multiple Event Data is associated with:
-If a Deployment event and not locked Non-Deployment event are recorded, the Multiple Event Data is associated with the
Deployment event.
-If a Deployment event and a locked Non-Deployment event are recorded, then the Multiple Event Data is associated with
both events.
-If a Deployment event and Deployment event #2 are recorded, then the Multiple Event Data is associated with both
events.
-All data should be examined in conjunction with other available physical evidence from the vehicle and scene.
Data Source:
All SDM recorded data is measured, calculated, and stored internally, except for the following:
-Vehicle Status Data (Pre-Crash) is transmitted to the SDM, by various vehicle control modules, via the vehicle’s communication
network.
-The Belt Switch Circuit is wired directly to the SDM.
Data Element Sign Convention:

The following table provides an explanation of the sign notation for data elements that may be included in this CDR report.
Directional references to sign notation are all from the perspective of the driver when seated in the vehicle facing the direction of
forward vehicle travel.
Data Element Name Positive Sign Notation Indicates

Longitudinal Velocity Change Forward
Lateral Velocity Change Left to Right
Lateral Acceleration Left to Right
Yaw Rate Clockwise *
Steering Wheel Angle Clockwise *
*For Cadillac STS model vehicles with StabiliTrak 3.0 systems (RPO JL7), the positive sign notation Indicates a
counterclockwise rotation.
Hexadecimal Data:
Data that the vehicle manufacturer has specified for data retrieval is shown in the hexadecimal data section of the CDR report. The
hexadecimal data section of the CDR report may contain data that is not translated by the CDR program. The control module
contains additional data that is not retrievable by the CDR tool.

This report is authored by Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), Special Investigations

Notification
On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at approximately 1902 hours, I was contacted by DPS SIU
Sergeant Robert Phillips, #6284, who stated a Salt River Police Department (SRPD) Officer
(later identified as Clayton Townsend, #307) had been struck by a vehicle and killed while on a
traffic stop.
Phillips requested I respond to the Scottsdale Osborn Hospital, located at 7400 East Osborn
Road, Scottsdale, Arizona. After speaking with Phillips, I contacted DPS SIU Detective Justin
Fyfe, #7460, and requested him to respond to the hospital as well.
Response/Arrival
I departed my residence at 1928 hours.
At 2016 hours, I spoke via cellular phone with DPS Major Crimes District (MCD) Commander,
Captain Timothy Mason, #4937. Mason directed me to collect Townsend’s clothing, personal
belongings, and assist DPS Laboratory Technician Janet Alvillar, #5772, of the Central Regional
Crime Lab (CRCL) with taking photographs of Townsend. Mason also stated there was a witness
at the hospital I would need to interview.
I arrived at Honor Health Scottsdale Osborn Hospital at 2025 hours and observed multiple
marked and unmarked police vehicles in the parking lot from the DPS, SRPD, and Scottsdale
Police Department (SPD). I met Fyfe at the Emergency Room entrance and entered the hospital
in the trauma area.
At 2035 hours, Fyfe and I met with SPD Officer David Weaver, #864, and SRPD Commander
Johnathan Gann, #118. Weaver stated Townsend was in Trauma room 54 directly across from
where we were standing. Trauma room 54 was closed off by a curtain and a member of the
SRPD Honor Guard who was standing guard outside the room. Weaver also pointed out the
driver of the vehicle who was initially stopped by Townsend at the time of the incident was in
Trauma room 57.
Just prior to entering Trauma room 54, DPS Highway Patrol Trooper Derek Jackson, #7787,
exited the room. Jackson said he was tasked with taking photographs of Townsend by DPS
Sergeant Cody Warren, #7197.

room 53, which was not occupied. Inside Trauma room 54, I observed Townsend lying on a bed

inside his vehicle.

blood. Inside the bag I observed Townsend’s duty belt, which was empty. The radio holder,
magazine carrier, and holster attached to the nylon duty belt were empty. Also, only the rear
ballistics vest panel was present and appeared to have been cut off. Fyfe and I later secured the
evidence in the north drying room at the CRCL. At 2102 hours, Fyfe and I contacted Alvillar

Trauma room 57. Sample informed us she was acting as the liaison for the family and was
organizing the visitations of family and friends of Townsend. I informed Sample we were done
with our part of the investigation involving Townsend.
At 2132 hours, I re-entered Trauma room 57 with Fyfe to interview Calimeri. The interview was
audio recorded and later transferred onto an audio compact disk and placed into evidence at the

Supplemental Report
Author: #7071 HON, B.
On January 8, 2019, at approximately 2027 hours, I, Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS)
Vehicular Crimes Unit (VCU), Detective Brian Hon, #7071, was advised by DPS VCU Sergeant
Jeremy Bulger, #6754, of a fatal collision involving a Salt River Police Officer on State Route
101 north of McDowell Road and asked to respond to assist in the investigation.
I arrived on scene at approximately 1936 hours. Upon arriving on scene, I was asked to evaluate
an individual involved in the incident to rule out possible drug involved impairment. I
approached a male wearing shorts and a t-shirt with a small blanket wrapped around his
shoulders and was visibly shivering. He verbally identified himself as Jerry Sanstead. Sanstead
was standing with Trooper Brian Houchens, #7535, who said he administered the Horizontal
Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test without noting any clues. In response to questions asked, Sanstead
said he did not have any medical conditions, back, neck or head injuries, other than the current
collision. Sanstead was wearing comfortable clothes and shoes and said the only pain he was
feeling was a tightness and pain in his chest and back. I asked if he wanted to be evaluated by
medical staff and he refused. I asked if there was anything preventing him from performing
some simple tests and he said there was not. In talking with him I did not notice any smell of an
alcoholic beverage coming from him, his speech was clear and well enunciated, and he was
standing upright and steady.
At approximately 1944 hours, after explaining the HGN test, Sanstead said he understood. I
administered HGN and noted no clues of Nystagmus. I explained the One Leg Stand test to
Sanstead. While I was explaining he was shifting his weight and shivering from the cold. He
said he understood the directions. While performing the test he put his foot down once, switched
to a different foot, raised both his arms 1-2 feet, swayed side to side 1-2 feet, didn’t count out
loud and didn’t look down at his feet. After that, I asked him to estimate the passage of 30
seconds, which he estimated at 34 seconds. His pulse was 112 beats per minute and his pupils
were dilated to 3.0 millimeters.
Despite his performance on the One Leg Stand, I did not believe Sanstead to be impaired. His
performance on the One Leg Stand can be attributed to the effects of the collision and the cold.
While I was evaluating Sanstead, other staff on scene were conducting a briefing. I met with my
supervisor, Sergeant Michael Hunt, #6680, and received assignments for the investigation at the
scene. I was asked to perform a formal interview with Sanstead.
I, along with DPS VCU Detective Sean O’Bryant, #5501, conducted an audio recorded interview
of Jerry Don Sanstead Junior at approximately 2027 hours. The interview was conducted inside
Detective O’Bryant’s vehicle to allow for privacy and the comfort of Sanstead. I sat on the
driver’s seat, Sanstead sat on the front passenger seat, and Detective O’Bryant sat on the rear seat
behind me. As the interview began we asked Sanstead to turn off his cell phone and place it on
the center console of the vehicle to avoid interruptions.
Sanstead told us he finished working with a patient near Ellsworth and Baseline Roads at
approximately 1700 hours and was headed home to go to the Phoenix Botanical Garden with his
family. On his way home, he stopped to get some dinner at Senor Taco, and left there at
approximately 1730 hours. He said it was approximately another 10 to 15 minutes from there to
the location of the collision. He traveled westbound on the 202 Red Mountain Freeway to
northbound on State Route 101. Sanstead was in the far-right lane with his cruise control set at
65 mph.
Sanstead said he was going back and forth with his wife between texting and calling, while
driving, making plans for the rest of the evening. When asked about the crash, he said, “I don’t
know, everything happened so fast”. At approximately 2054 hours, I advised him of his Miranda
Rights. He stated he understood his rights and would continue to answer questions. Sanstead
once again said he was texting his wife at the time of the collision. He said he was using a “text
to talk” feature that would allow him to dictate his outgoing texts, but he had to visually read the
incoming texts. When sending a text, he would dictate, then click send. When asked, he
admitted it was a distraction. Sanstead said what he thought happened was, while he was texting,
the vehicle drifted, causing the collision. Sanstead said, “Obviously this is the real deal. I fucked
up”. When asked what he meant, he said, “I rear ended somebody, I don’t even know who I rear
ended.” The interview concluded at approximately 2128 hours. For further information, see the
transcription of the interview.
A copy of the audio from the interview was placed into evidence as item number BEH2.
I remained at the scene and assisted with the investigation until leaving the scene at
approximately 0320 hours to return equipment to the office and return home.
On January 11, 2019, I authored a search warrant to image the Crash Data Recorder (CDR) of
the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. The warrant was granted by the Maricopa County Superior Court
and served at the DPS secure vehicle lot at approximately 1330 hours. The Airbag Control
Module was imaged with the Bosch CDR kit. A copy of the warrant and a receipt were left in the
vehicle. The warrant was returned to the Maricopa County Superior Court. A copy of the CDR
data was attached to the report and the raw data was entered into evidence as Evidence Item
BEH3.

Supplemental Report
This supplemental investigative report has been prepared by Detective Jacob Melki, #7155, to
support charging Jerry Sanstead Jr. (Sanstead), with one count of Manslaughter, a violation of
A.R.S. §13-1103B, and one count of Aggravated Assault, a violation of A.R.S. §13-1204. A.1.
The facts and circumstances learned during the initial investigation will be will be expounded
upon to further demonstrate the timeline of events in greater detail. In addition, specialized
investigation as it relates to vehicle collisions and human factors in vehicle collisions will be
utilized to provide the required information to support the felonious charges.
First described in the General Report, I documented the times from the WatchGuard Dash-Cam
of Officer Townsend’s vehicle. More specifically, the time at which Officer Townsend activated
the red and blue emergency lights in his marked police truck was at 18:02:31. It was at this time
he was still in the on-ramp lane and the gore point was to his west. At 18:02:36 the on-ramp lane
was now the entrance/exit lane as it was bordered by dashed white lines. The police lights would
have been clearly visible to passing motorists at this time. Officer Townsend’s vehicle came to a
stop on the right shoulder of SR101 at 18:02:48, 30 seconds later, he was struck at 18:03:18 and
mortally wounded. At 18:03:22, the witness vehicle is observed at a slow rate of speed passing
between the Cobalt and Mercedes, an approximate 4 second difference between the collision and
when the witness vehicle becomes visible.
Figure 1 is a photograph of the scene looking north. There are two visible overhead signs, both
are for the McDowell Rd exit; Officer Townsend was parked a short distance to the south of the
first sign prior to the collision. Witness Nicholas Johnson stated he saw the police truck a good
distance away. To demonstrate how far Officer Townsend’s truck could be reasonably visible
while traveling northbound on SR101, a recreation of the events was completed on Friday,
January 11, 2019. The video files are contained on evidence item DMD1. (Reference Figure 1).
Figure 1

Figure 2 is a Google earth image that demonstrates the approximate area where the traffic stop
occurred.
Figure 2
Page 3 of 6
The drive-through video exemplars were created on Friday, January 11, 2019, with two Sony
A6000 cameras, left and right side mounting on the front-end of a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado.
Each video provides a different vantage point of how the area looked and should not be taken as
the absolute view-distance of what an actual person might have seen during similar events. In
addition, I also documented my own visual distance where I could reasonably discern there was
an emergency vehicle ahead while sitting in the front passenger seat. Detective Siewert was
driving at the time of the video and would also have a different viewpoint from my own. During
the video, Detective Siewert drove in the far-right lane at approximately the speed limit of 65
mph which was reasonable at the time during the traffic conditions based upon my observance
and expertise in traffic safety.
In the left-side video, the 04:22 minute mark is the approximate time stamp when an emergency
vehicle becomes visible. At approximately the 04:39 minute mark, we were parallel to the Salt
River police vehicle. Given our approximate speed in feet per second of 95.29, and 17 seconds of
visibility purely from the left side camera, Officer Townsend’s vehicle was visible from
approximately 1619.93 feet away, or about three tenths of a mile.
In the right-side video, at the 04:28 minute mark, red and blue emergency lights become visible
for about 2 seconds and then a vehicle ahead obstructed the view. Then, at the 04:36 minute
mark, the emergency lights become visible again. At approximately the 04:56 minute mark, we
were parallel to the police vehicle. Given this different view, solely from the camera’s
perspective, Officer Townsend’s vehicle could have been visible for as long as 28 seconds or as
short as 20 seconds. Given the rate of speed from earlier, the distance range of visibility is
between 2668.12 – 1905.8 feet, or half a mile to approximately three and a half tenths of a mile.
Based upon my observations during the drive-through, I notated I observed the red and blue
emergency lights as we topped the crest of the overpass, almost exactly near the right-side video
time stamp of 04:28. I was careful in my documentation and I waited to record my viewpoint
until I could discern that it was what I would have perceived as a law enforcement vehicle on the
highway. In contrast, it was possible even further back to make out flashing lights in the
distance, but it was not discernable what kind of emergency vehicle it was or if it was on the
highway. Based upon my investigation, Officer Townsend’s vehicle was visible to a person
driving in the far-right traffic lane for up to approximately one half of a mile.

distance from the earth image is approximately 2400 feet, the area from the approximate traffic
stop to the top of the McKellips Road overpass.

Page 5 of 6
Detective Hon and O’Bryant interviewed Sanstead the night of the collision. During the first part
of the interview, pre-Miranda warning, he stated he was going back and forth with his wife by
texts and calling and knew it was not something you’re supposed to do. When asked more
specifically if he was texting or talking at the time of the collision, he said he didn’t know, then
corrected himself and said he wasn’t calling.
During post-Miranda questioning, Sanstead admitted to being distracted and gave two
explanations; he was either using his cell phone or changing radio stations. He was asked if he
felt texting and driving was safe, and he admitted that it wasn’t. Sanstead made several
admissions during the post-Miranda interview where he conceded and freely admitted using a
phone and being distracted while driving was dangerous and should be punishable under law.
Most importantly, Sanstead stated he never recognized the red and blue emergency lights from
Officer Townsend’s vehicle and he had no idea what he struck in the collision. Based on all of
the testing done to determine visibility of the police vehicle and witness observation reliability,
Sanstead failed to observe the police vehicle for approximately 17 to 28 seconds.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
This report was authored by Detective Justin Fyfe, #7460, of the Arizona Department of Public
Safety (DPS), Special Investigation Unit (SIU).
Notification
On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at approximately 1930 hours, I received a telephone call from DPS
SIU Detective Robert Olshaskie, #7027, asking I respond to an officer-involved collision
resulting in a fatality. The incident occurred in the City of Scottsdale, Arizona on the State Route
101 near McDowell Road and was involving law enforcement personnel from the Salt River
Tribal Police Department (SRPD). Olshaskie said the DPS SIU was requested to assist with the
investigation and respond to the Honor Health Scottsdale Osborn Hospital (HHSOH) located at
7400 East Osborn Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251.
Response/Arrival
I arrived at the HHSOH at approximately 2013 hours and observed multiple marked and
unmarked police vehicles in the parking lot belonging to the DPS, SRPD, and Scottsdale Police
Department (SPD). I met Olshaskie at the Emergency entrance and entered the hospital in the
trauma area.
At approximately 2017 hours, I spoke with DPS Sergeant Jeremey Bulger, #6754, via cellular
telephone and was tasked with assisting Olshaskie with obtaining photographs of SRPD Officer
Clayton Townsend #307 and the second victim involved, Alfred Calimeri. Bulger requested I
photograph and preserve Townsend’s clothing, interview the second victim, and confirm the time
of death and who had pronounced Townsend deceased. Laboratory Technician Janet Alvillar,
#5772, of the Central Regional Crime Lab (CRCL), was en-route to meet Olshaskie and I to take
the photographs.
At approximately 2035 hours, Olshaskie and I met with SPD Officer David Weaver, #864, and
SRPD Commander J. Gann, #118. Weaver said Townsend was in trauma room 54 directly across
from us. Trauma room 54 was closed off by a curtain and a member of the SRPD Honor Guard
who stood guard outside the room. Weaver also pointed out that the other victim, Calimeri, was
in trauma room 57. Just prior to entering trauma room 54, DPS Highway Patrol (HP) Trooper D.
Jackson, #7787, exited the room. Jackson said he was tasked by DPS HP Sergeant C. Warren,
#7197, with taking photographs of Townsend. Jackson stated Townsend had not been cleaned up
yet, however, Doctor Rowlett had cleaned up some blood off Townsend’s face.
At approximately 2040 hours, I entered trauma room 54 with Olshaskie. Trauma room 54 shares
a space with trauma room 53. Inside room 54 was Townsend lying down on a gurney. Olshaskie

and I could not locate Townsend’s clothing in the room. As we exited the room, Gann told us he
possessed Townsend’s clothing.
At approximately 2047 hours, I collected Townsend’s clothing from Gann who was storing the
clothing inside a clear plastic bag inside a fully marked SRPD vehicle. I transported the clothing
to my department issued vehicle for safekeeping until I transported the items to Phoenix Property
and Evidence located at 2323 North 22nd Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona.
Gann said Sergeant Ignacio Garcia, #329 of SRPD possessed Townsend’s duty weapon and
asked if the radio and taser were inside the bag he provided. Olshaskie and I looked briefly in the
bag as the contents inside were saturated with blood and observed the officer’s duty belt was
empty. The radio holder, magazine carrier, and holster attached to the nylon duty belt were all
empty. Also, only the rear ballistics panel of Townsend’s vest was present and appeared to have
been cut off as the straps of the upper portion of the outer carrier and attached portable radio cord
were frayed consistent with being cut off.
At approximately 2100 hours, Gann confirmed the officer involved was Townsend #307 of
SRPD.
At approximately 2102 hours, Alvillar of CRCL met with Olshaskie and I outside of the
emergency entrance.
At approximately 2109 hours, I re-entered trauma room 54 with Alvillar so she could take
photographs.
Olshaskie and I assisted Alvillar with positioning Townsend’s body as necessary for
photographs.
I exited the room at approximately 2118 hours.
At approximately 2119 hours, I entered trauma room 57 with Olshaskie and observed a sole male
occupant inside the room lying down on a bed. The room was divided by curtains. The male
subject verbally identified himself as Alfred Calimeri, date of birth, .
Calimeri said his residence was located at and
provided a phone number of . Calimeri confirmed he was the driver of the vehicle
Townsend had conducted a traffic stop on.
I exited the room at approximately 2128 hours as Alvillar continued with taking photographs.
At approximately 2130 hours, Olshaskie and I met with SRPD Lieutenant Michaela Sample,
#111, of SRPD just outside of room 57. Sample informed us she was the liaison and is

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
organizing the visitations of family and friends of Townsend. Sample confirmed Olshaskie and I
were finished with what we needed from room 57 so she could arrange for Townsend to be
cleaned-up, so his wife could visit him.
At approximately 2132 hours, I re-entered trauma room 57 with Olshaskie to conduct a recorded
interview with Calimeri.
At approximately 2145 hours, I left the room after the interview was concluded. Below is a
summary of his recorded interview:
Calimeri said on January 8th, 2019, at approximately 1810 hours, he was stopped northbound on
the State Route 101 near McDowell Road by Townsend for expired registration. Calimeri said he
yielded off right into the paved shoulder next to a wall, which was approximately two feet away
from the passenger side of his vehicle. Townsend approached Calimeri’s vehicle on the driver’s
side, introduced himself, explained to Calimeri he was stopped for expired registration, and
while Townsend was facing him at the driver’s side window of his vehicle the collision suddenly
occurred. Calimeri said the collision happened approximately 15 seconds into the traffic stop and
he does not recall hearing or seeing anything just prior to the collision. Calimeri said the collision
spun his vehicle into the middle lane where his vehicle came to a final rest facing southbound
and he remained in his vehicle until the fire department pulled him out.
(See Audio Recording for further)
At approximately 2150 hours, I contacted Dr. Larson in the hallway of the hospital who put me
in touch with Dr. Rowlett who called Townsend’s time of death. Dr. Rowlett said he pronounced
Townsend deceased at approximately 1835 hours.
At approximately 2155 hours, I collected the medical records release form for Calimeri from
hospital personnel.
Calimeri signed the medical records release form pertaining to his injuries suffered in the
collision at approximately 2204 hours.
At approximately 2318 hours, I re-entered trauma room 57 as Maricopa Medical Examiner

Investigator Frank Maiurana, #63, was there to transport Townsend. I photographed the body tag
and body once prepared by Maiurana. I also photographed Townsend’s wallet, identification, and
other contents within it. All photos were uploaded into the Mideo Kiosk under the associated
department record.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
At approximately 2356 hours, I cleared the hospital and headed to Phoenix property and
evidence.
At approximately 0028 hours, Olshaskie and I submitted Townsend’s uniformed shirt and pants,
empty duty belt, rear ballistics vest, boots, under wear, socks, and accessories into the north
drying room. All items were photographed and loaded into the Mideo Kiosk under the associated
department record.
(See photographs for further)
At approximately 0106 hours, I cleared and returned to my residence.
On January 9, 2019, I returned to the Honor Health Scottsdale Osborn Hospital and received a
copy of Calimeri’s medical records at approximately 1000 hours. At approximately 1045 hours, I
placed the medical records on the desk of DPS Vehicular Crimes Unit (VCU) Detective Jacob
Melki, #7155, who is case lead.
This concluded my involvement.

Supplemental Report
Author: #6115 EASTON, J.
On January 25, 2019, I reviewed the report and extractions performed by Detective Tom Olszak,
#5625. I reviewed all Cellebrite and Axiom extractions as well as the individual written reports
and concur with the findings that were presented to the case Detective for his review. All
procedures that Detective Olszak performed were consistent with industry standards in the field
of digital forensics at this time.
Supplemental Report
On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, I received a USB thumb-drive from Sergeant Michael Hunt,
#6680, containing the body camera footage from Officer Townsend’s uniform. The evidence
item was transferred to an external hard drive, labeled as evidence item #DMD1, for ease of
long-term storage and accessibility.
On Thursday, January 10, 2019, Detective Kenneth Ellis, #6659, gave me a compact disc
containing the Maricopa County Medical Examiners autopsy photographs of Clayton Townsend.
On Friday, January 11, 2019, at approximately 1638 hours, I drove Officer Townsend’s marked
SRPD truck from the DPS CRCL P&E lot, (Evidence Item JCM14), to the area of the crime
scene and parked it in the nearest location I could discern as it was at the time of the event. A
marked HPD patrol vehicle was parked in front of the SRPD truck and I turned on the red and
blue emergency lights of the SRPD truck. Sergeant Hunt and HPD Trooper Michael Rushing,
#6993, stayed with the SRPD truck while Detective Cam Siewert, #5708, mounted two cameras
(Sony a6000) to the hood of his Chevrolet Silverado. One camera was mounted near the left side
of the hood and the other on the right side.
Detective Siewert and I drove to State Route 202 (SR202) (Red Mountain Freeway), and Dobson
Road and drove to the SRPD truck with both cameras recording. The drive from SR202 and
Dobson began at approximately 1756 hours, and we drove past the SRPD truck, taking the exit at
McDowell Road, where we drove southbound on State Route 101 (SR101), until exiting at
Broadway Road. We drove back onto SR101 northbound from Broadway Road and made a
second pass while the SRPD truck was still off on the right shoulder. At approximately 1825
hours, I again retained custody of the SRPD truck, driving it back to the CRCL P&E evidence lot
where it was placed back in at approximately 1854 hours.
On Monday, January 14, 2019, I contacted Target Forensic Services (TFS), via their online
website and requested assistance with a digital video enhancement. The request was to analyze
the WatchGuard Dash-Cam video from SRPD Officer Clayton Townsend’s vehicle and to
determine if clarification of the video could be made in the area of the Mercedes passenger car as
it enters the frame.
TFS Employee Andrew Schriever contacted me via e-mail and stated he could assist with the
request. TFS Schriever set up an account for me to upload the video files securely via their
service Accellion. I uploaded multiple digital files, located within evidence item DMD1, Clayton
Townsend Video Disc 1 of 4, Record ID: 00:1D:96:00:A9:4F-359336598.
The files contained the Watchguard.exe video player, the plugins for the WatchGuard program,
and a .mp4 video containing the video footage.
On Wednesday, January 16, 2019, via the Accellion website, Schriever returned 19 photographs
with enhancements. The photographs focused on the first few frames of the collision event, but
were not able to produce additional useable information as it related to Sanstead’s phone use.
On Wednesday, January 30, 2019, DPS Detective Tom Olszak, #5625, e-mailed me stating the
digital files of evidence item BEH1 were available to download through Liquid Files online
system. The file was approximately 60 gigabytes in size and were downloaded on Thursday,
January 31, 2019, to a 128-gigabyte thumb-drive. The file could not be transferred over to
DMD1 and remained on a separate thumb-drive, labeled DMD2.
On Wednesday, January 30, 2019, I reserved the Phoenix Fire Department driving track, located
at 2425 West Lower Buckeye Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85009, to conduct testing as it related to
witness Nicholas Johnson’s statements. Under search warrant authority, Maricopa County
Superior Court SW2019-001268 (Judge Utiki Spurling Laing), I was permitted to transport the
Mercedes on a DPS tow truck and take it to the Phoenix driving track. Prior to moving it, I took
photographs of the Mercedes while it was at the CRCL Evidence Lot. I followed the DPS tow-
truck from the yard to the driving track. While at the driving track, I weighed the vehicle and
removed personal property from the trunk at the request of the owner (with permission from
Maricopa County Attorney’s Office). There was a school style backpack and a massage table,
which were later stored as property for Charity Sanstead to pick up. The items removed weighed
less than 50 lbs. and I did not re-weigh the vehicle after removing the items.
I borrowed a 2017 Dodge Caravan from Bill Luke Chrysler, located at 2425 West Camelback
Road, Phoenix, AZ., as it was as close to a Chrysler Town and Country that the witness was
driving at the time of the collision. During the testing, several Phoenix Police Department
(PhxPD), detectives were present and assisted.
The purpose of the testing was to examine the witness statements of Johnson. Johnson stated the
Mercedes CLK350 passed by him, to his left, and he could see Sanstead looking down to the
right at his phone. Johnson was specific in his statement when he accurately described the
clothing Sanstead was wearing as well as using a cell phone when he was passed. The testing
comprised of the actual Mercedes vehicle being placed in a stationery position on the driving
track. Multiple photographs, video and aerial drone footage was captured. The testing was
captured over a period of approximately 45 minutes, 1745 – 1830 hours, which covered various
forms of lighting to accurately gauge the real time conditions the night of the collision.
Page 2 of 3
All the video was transferred onto evidence item DMD1. The tests consisted of a Phoenix police
detective of similar height sitting in the driver seat of the Mercedes with a ball cap on looking
down at a lit cellular phone. I, along with two other Phoenix PD detectives assisting me, drove
past the Mercedes at speeds of 10 and 20 mph passes and recorded it using a Sony A6000
camera. From the testing it appeared entirely possible the witness, Johnson, could have seen
Sanstead looking down at his lit cellular phone near the middle console.
On Friday, February 1, 2019, at approximately 1120 hours, I traveled to the United States (US),
Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Phoenix facility, located at 21711 North 7th Street,
Phoenix, Arizona 85024, and met with Special Agent Geoff Young and gave him the 128-
gigabyte thumb-drive containing the cell phone data and T-Mobile records.
On Tuesday, March 26, 2019, at approximately 1100 hours, I traveled to the US FBI Phoenix
Facility again and met with SA Young and gave him a thumb-drive containing the Apple iCloud
data.
On Monday, April 8, 2019, I received an e-mail from Detective Ellis with the Maricopa County
Medical Examiner’s report for Clayton Townsend.

On Sunday, January 8, 2019, at approximately 1818 hours, I, Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), Highway Patrol Bureau (HPB),
Phoenix Metro East Motors, Trooper Ryan Reeves, #7470, responded to the area of northbound State Route (SR) 101 and McDowell Road to
assist with collision scene measurements.
At approximately 1900 hours, I arrived on scene and I saw yellow crime scene tape surrounding a collision scene with multiple vehicles
inside. I saw a marked Phoenix Fire Department fire truck south of the collision scene and it was providing a place to tie the yellow crime
scene tape off. There were numerous law enforcement and medical personnel on scene.
I met with Special Investigations Unit (SIU) Sergeant Hancock, #6775, who told me to mark the tires of two fire trucks within the scene so they
could depart the scene. At approximately 1940 hours, I entered the scene and marked the tires of Phoenix Fire Engine 292, Arizona license
plate G128GN and Phoenix Fire Battalion truck 291, Arizona license plate G559HZ.
At approximately 1955 hours, Sergeant T. Matthews, #186, Salt River Police Department and Detective J. Melki, #7155, DPS Vehicular Crimes
Unit (VCU) completed a briefing of the known facts. See the case detectives report for briefing details.
After the completion of the briefing, I assisted with a walk through of the scene with Detective J. Melki, Trooper A. Evans, #7155, and Trooper
M. Moreno #10073.
I assisted Troopers A. Evans and M. Moreno setup the Lieca Total Station (TS) 12 to measure the scene and evidence.
I assisted Trooper A. Evans with the completion of the diagram using IMS Map 360 a computer aided drawing program.
This concluded my involvement in this case to date.

Item BEH1 Photos
The following software was used in the examination of the media(s):
1. Cellebrite UFED 4PC version 7.12.1.1100 - This is a device that when attached to certain
cell phones, can perform a physical extraction, file system extraction or logical extraction. An
iPhone only has the option for a File System extraction and a Logical extraction.
a. Physical Extraction – Data is extracted from the phone’s memory without regard to its file
system or data categories (contacts, sms text, pictures, videos, etc.). This extracted “raw data”
is analyzed and parsed using Cellebrite’s Physical Analyzer to reconstruct the available
information for reporting. This method contains analyzes data in “unallocated space”.
b. File System Extraction – Data is extracted from the phone’s defined file system. This file
system includes operating system files along with user created files. This can include some
user deleted and hidden data contained within SQlite databases, including web history, email
headers, EXIF data on images and system data. Data from “unallocated space” is not included.
The extracted file system is analyzed and parsed using Cellebrite’s Physical Analyzer to
reconstruct the available information for reporting.
c. Logical Extraction – Categories of reportable data, (contacts, sms text, pictures, videos,
etc.) are extracted from the phones memory without the file system data or unallocated space
data. Deleted data is not extracted.
2. Cellebrite Physical Analyzer version 7.12.0.128 -This program can be used for an Advanced
Logical or logical extraction of an iOS device. It includes analysis, malware detection,
enhanced decoding, reporting functions, project analytics, timeline graph and exporting
capabilities.
a. Advanced Logical Extraction – Data is extracted from the phone’s file system and data
categories (contacts, sms text, pictures, videos, etc.). This method relies on Apple iTunes
backup using Apple’s backup infrastructure. This method can retrieve deleted data, but does
not retrieve data in “unallocated space”.
3. AXIOM version 2.7.1.12070- An automated forensic tool that images, parses, and analyzes
forensic evidence.

Supplemental Report
Author: #6680 HUNT, M.
On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at approximately 1843 hours, I, Arizona Department of Public

Safety (DPS), Major Crimes District (MCD), Vehicular Crimes Unit (VCU), Sergeant Michael J.
Hunt, #6680, received a text message from the MCD Commander, Captain Timothy Mason,
#4937, and was advised a Salt River Police Department (SRPD), officer had been involved in a
serious injury collision on the State Route 101 (SR101), near McDowell Road. Captain Mason
requested the VCU respond to the scene. I contacted Detective Joseph Ritchie, #6515, and
Detective Jacob Melki, #7155, by telephone and requested they respond to the scene. Detective
Brian Hon, #7071, and I were attending the Pursuit Intervention Technique training at the
Phoenix Fire Academy driving track; I instructed he depart training early and respond to the
collision scene as well.
At approximately 1906 hours, I departed the Phoenix Fire Academy driving track and responded
to the collision scene; I arrived at approximately 1931 hours. As I approached the scene, I saw
the four right traffic lanes of the northbound SR101 were blocked by multiple emergency
vehicles displaying red and blue flashing lights. A fire truck was still at the scene blocking one
of the center lanes and yellow police tape surrounded the collision scene. I drove past the scene
and parked on the right-side emergency shoulder just north of the closure.
I entered the scene from the north and met with Captain Mason and the VCU detectives on
scene. We prepared to receive a briefing from SRPD, which began at approximately 1955 hours
and was led by SRPD Sergeant T. Matthews, #186. In the briefing, I learned SRPD Officer
Clayton Townsend, #307, initiated a traffic stop (SRPD traffic stop #1105) at approximately
1802 hours on the right shoulder of the northbound SR101 near milepost 50 on a white Chevrolet
passenger car for expired registration. The traffic stop was just south of the McDowell Road
exit. Officer Townsend was conversing with the driver of the Chevrolet on the driver side of the
vehicle at approximately 1804 hours when he was struck by a passing Mercedes convertible
driven by Jerry Sanstead Jr. The Mercedes also collided into the white Chevrolet, driven by
Alfred Carmelo Calimeri. DPS received 9-1-1 calls beginning at approximately 1806 hours
advising of an injury collision involving an ejected person.
CASE NOTE: The investigation showed the collision did not actually involve anyone being
ejected from a vehicle; the person witnesses believed was “ejected” was Officer Townsend.
Officer Townsend was transported to Honor Health Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center
(HHSOMC), where he received critical care treatment; he was ultimately pronounced deceased
at approximately 1835 hours. Calimeri was also transported to HHSOMC where he received
medical treatment for an S1 closed fracture of the Sacrum as well as shoulder and back pain.
Calimeri was later released from the hospital that evening. Sanstead sustained minor injuries and
was treated by responding medical personnel at the scene, where he remained. I learned there
were several witnesses to the collision, all of whom were still at the scene as well.
At the end of the briefing, I completed investigative assignments. I assigned Detective Melki as
the lead investigator. I tasked Detective Hon with interviewing Sanstead and directed him to
make initial contact with Sanstead to determine whether impairment was a contributing factor in
the collision. After initial contact with Sanstead, Detective Hon advised me he did not note any
signs or symptoms of impairment. I tasked Detective Ritchie with interviewing the witnesses to
the collision. The DPS Metro Regional Advanced Collision Team (ReACT) was on scene,
including the supervisor, Sergeant Brent Leslie, #4720. I assigned the duties of measuring and
diagraming the scene to the ReACT. Sergeant Leslie tasked Trooper Ryan Reeves, #7470, with
completing both.
Detective Ritchie interviewed Nicholas Johnson, a witness who was driving a passenger van at
the time of the collision. Detective Ritchie advised me Johnson told him he saw the driver of the
Mercedes (Sanstead), looking down at his phone as he passed him.
CASE NOTE: At the time of the collision, it was dusk with sufficient ambient natural lighting to
clearly view the surroundings without the aid of artificial lighting, such as headlights or street
lamps. Sanstead was driving a black 2008 Mercedes-Benz 500 series convertible sedan with the
top down and was passing in the traffic lane immediately to the left of Johnson. Johnson was
driving a newer model Chrysler Town & Country van, which provided a higher vantage point than
the Mercedes. Given Johnson’s viewpoint and ambient lighting conditions, he was able to clearly
see within the passenger compartment of Sanstead’s vehicle as it passed him.
After the Mercedes passed him, Johnson continued to watch Sanstead as he drifted to the right
and across the traffic lanes, heading directly toward the stopped police vehicle on the side of the
road (Officer Townsend). Johnson told Detective Ritchie the entire time he was watching
Sanstead, Sanstead never looked up from his phone. Johnson watched Sanstead drive right into
Officer Townsend without braking or swerving to avoid the collision.
Upon learning this new information, I immediately met with Detectives Ritchie, Melki, Hon, and
Sean O’Bryant, #5501, to discuss this updated information relating to the possible causation of
the collision. Detectives Hon and O’Bryant then conducted a recorded interview with Sanstead,
in which he said he was either texting his wife or changing radio stations when the collision
occurred. During the interview, Sanstead told detectives he didn’t see the collision happen.
Based on the witness statements and Sanstead’s interview, detectives believed Sanstead was
engaged in distracted driving at the time of the collision and secured a search warrant to seize
and search Sanstead’s cellular phone. Refer to Detective Melki’s general report for investigative
details. Sanstead was later transported to the 4th Avenue Jail in Phoenix where he was booked
on vehicular manslaughter charges.
Page 2 of 3
While at the scene, I provided general supervision and guidance to the VCU detectives in
addition to providing updated investigative information to those in the DPS chain of command.
At approximately 0340 hours on January 9, 2019, I departed the collision scene and drove to the
SRPD station to retrieve Officer Townsend’s body camera footage. I arrived at approximately
0344 hours and met with DPS Trooper Darius Windels, #10347, who was working with SRPD
officers to retrieve the footage from a computer server located at the police department. At
approximately 0347 hours, Trooper Windels provided me a USB thumb drive containing the
body camera footage. At approximately 0454 hours, I departed the SRPD and completed my
involvement with the on-scene investigation.
On January 9, 2019, at approximately 2115 hours, I provided the USB thumb drive containing
Officer Townsend’s body camera footage to Detective Melki. For further information regarding
the investigation, refer to Detective Melki’s general investigative report and SRPD report
number 2019-1106.
On January 11, 2019, I assisted Detective Melki with conducting a visibility study of the area
where the collision occurred during the same time in the evening. Officer Townsend’s police
truck was parked near the collision site on the right emergency shoulder with all emergency
lights activated. I stood in a safe location behind a jersey barrier and maintained chain-of-
custody of the truck while Detective Melki conducted video recorded drive throughs of the area.
Once Detective Melki completed the study, I drove Officer Townsend’s patrol truck to the
northbound on-ramp of SR101 at McKellips Road where I turned it back over to Detective
Melki.
On January 30, 2019, I assisted Detective Melki with additional reconstruction and visibility
studies regarding the investigation. Detective Melki arranged to have Sanstead’s Mercedes
towed to the Phoenix Fire Academy driving track located at 2425 West Lower Buckeye Road, in
Phoenix. He also arranged for the use of a newer Dodge Caravan, a like-vehicle to the Chrysler
Town & Country the witness, Johnson, was driving at the time of the collision. The minivan was
used, in conjunction with Sanstead’s Mercedes, to conduct additional visibility studies on the
driving track. I participated by holding a video camera near Detective Melki’s head, pointed out
the driver’s side window, while he drove the minivan at varying speeds toward and past the
Mercedes, which was stationary on the track. I also assisted by acting as a visual observer for
Detective Hon as he piloted the DPS VCU drone while obtaining aerial video of the visibility
testing.
This concluded my involvement in this investigation as of January 30, 2019.

Interview Summary
Person Interviewed:
Jerry Don Sanstead
Date of Birth:
Residence:
Telephone:
interview with Jerry Sanstead, regarding the voluntary collection of a sample of his blood and urine. The
interview was conducted at the Maricopa County Integrated Health System (MCIHS), located at 2601
East Roosevelt Street, Phoenix, Arizona, 85008, inside of a small holding room and attended by Trooper
J. Simon #10475.
Interview Summary:
Sanstead said he was read his Miranda Warnings at the scene, but only remembered what he saw in the
movies. I re-read Sanstead his Miranda Warnings at the MCIHS. Sanstead said he was still trying to
figure out what happened during the collision and he might have passed out. Sanstead said he was in
the process of a cleanse, he was fine to go to work but that his stomach hurt that morning. Sanstead
asked me if he should get an attorney, to which I did not reply. Sanstead said he could not imagine what
happened; that what happened was completely unacceptable, but was an accident. Sanstead said he
wanted to consult an attorney before consenting to a blood or urine sample. This concluded the
interview.
The interview was concluded at approximately 0004 hours, on January 09, 2019.
Supplemental Report
Author: #5501 O'BRYANT, S.
This supplemental report was authored by the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS),
Vehicular Crime Unit (VCU) Detective Sean O’Bryant, #5501.
Notification
On January 8, 2019, at approximately 2027 hours, I was advised by VCU Sergeant Jeremy
Bulger, #6754, regarding a fatal collision involving a Salt River Police Officer on State Route
101(SR 101) north of McDowell Road and asked to respond to assist with the investigation.
Arrival
At approximately 1947 hours, I arrived at the scene, the north bound lanes of SR 101, prior to the
McDowell Road off-ramp. I saw the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) was
routing traffic to the HOV and #1 traffic lanes. There were several DPS vehicle and Salt River
Police Department vehicles parked in the right-hand lanes of northbound SR 101. As I
approached the scene on foot, I saw yellow police tape marking off the inner and out perimeter
of the incident scene.
Briefing
At approximately 1950 hours, I attended a briefing provided by SRPD T. Matthews, #186.
During the briefing, Matthews provided the details which the SRPD received regarding the
incident.
At approximately 2004 hours, DPS Highway Patrol (HP) Sergeant Cody Warren, #7197,
provided a briefing of the events which led DPS personnel to respond to the scene. For details
regarding the briefings, refer to Detective Melki’s, #7155, investigative report.
I was assigned to assist VCU Detective Brian Hon, #7071, with interviewing the driver of the
vehicle which had caused the collision.
I, along with Detective Hon, #7071, conducted an audio recorded interview of Jerry Don
Sanstead Junior at approximately 2027 hours. The interview was conducted inside my patrol
vehicle to allow for privacy and the comfort of Sanstead. Detective Hon sat on the driver’s seat,
Sanstead sat on the front passenger seat, and I sat on the rear seat behind Detective Hon. As the
Author: #5501 O'BRYANT, S.
interview began we asked Sanstead to turn off his cell phone and place it on the center console of
the vehicle to avoid interruptions.
During the interview, Sanstead admitted to texting with his wife about plans they were making
for the evening. Sanstead admitted to looking at his phone while he was driving and stated he
did not know how the collision occurred. The interview concluded at 2128 hours. For further
information, see the transcription of the interview.
After assisting with the interview, I was asked to author a search warrant related to Sanstead’s
phone. I completed the warrant, which was granted by the Maricopa County Superior Court. A
copy of the search warrant, #SW2019-000332, was provided to the investigators at the scene.
I remained at the scene and assisted with the investigation until leaving the scene at
approximately 0216 hours.
No further involvement.

Supplemental Report
Author: #5708 SIEWERT, C.
On Friday, January 11, 2019, I, Detective Cam Siewert, #5708, of the Arizona Department of
Public Safety (DPS), Vehicular Crimes Unit (VCU), assisted VCU Detective Jacob Melki,
#7155, with recording digital motion video of the involved Salt River Police Department
(SRPD), marked patrol Ford pickup truck assigned to Officer Townsend. Detective Melki
obtained the Ford pickup from the Central Regional Property and Evidence (CRPE), Vehicle
Evidence Yard. The Ford Pickup was driven to the collision scene by Detective Melki. VCU
Sergeant Michael Hunt, #6680, remained with the Ford pickup at the collision scene.
Detective Melki, #7155, and I drove to the area of Dobson Road and State Route 202 with two
Sony A6000 cameras mounted by suction cups and brackets to the hood of my assigned
unmarked white 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.
At approximately 1800 hours, the video was set to record for both cameras. Sergeant Hunt,
#6680, activated the emergency lights on the SRPD Ford pickup. I began driving my truck and
entered State Route 202 remaining in the far-right lane to make it into the interchange lane of
northbound State Route 101. I transitioned to northbound State Route 101 and continued north
in the far-right traffic lane at 65 Miles Per Hour. Detective Melki, #7155, kept track of times for
visibility during the exemplar tests. While driving, I was paying attention to the road and other
traffic. At times traffic was between my line of sight and the emergency lights from the SRPD
Ford Pickup. The camera mounted to the left side of the hood on my vehicle would have a
similar vantage point of what I, the driver, would have had during the tests. I could clearly see
the flashing red and blue emergency lights from the Ford Pickup from a great distance from the
vehicle. Based on Arizona Revised Statute 28-775E.1.2, I would have ample time to make a lane
change to the left or reduce my speed if traffic did not provide for a safe lane change prior to
passing the Ford pickup stopped on the right shoulder.
After passing the Ford pickup, I exited State Route 101 at McDowell Road. I re-entered
southbound State Route 101 from McDowell Road, proceeding south to University Drive where
I exited State Route 101. From University Drive, I re-entered northbound State Route 101 and
continued north in the right lane of State Route 101. As I was approaching the area of the traffic
stop, I could see the flashing red and blue emergency lights of the Ford pickup a great distance
back. There was other traffic between my line of sight at times, but I could clearly ascertain an
emergency vehicle was ahead and off to the right side of State Route 101. I had ample time to
make a lane change to the left or slow my vehicle down to pass the Ford pickup well in advance.
It should be noted, I was aware of the emergency vehicle as part of the tests; however, I did not
Author: #5708 SIEWERT, C.
have to search for the emergency lights as they were clearly visible well in advance of the area
the traffic stop / collision scene.
After the tests were completed, I removed the cameras from the hood of my assigned vehicle. I
assisted Detective Melki, #7155, with the return of the SRPD Ford pickup to the CRPE Vehicle
Evidence Lot where it was turned back over to the DPS Property Custodian. I provided
Detective Melki with the digital video footage contained on secure digital memory cards. The
data was transferred to his assigned computer. Detective Melki later submitted the video footage
to the CRPE section as evidence.
This concludes my involvement with this investigation to date: Wednesday, April 5, 2019.
Page 2 of 2
On 01/08/2019 I was dispatched to NB Loop 101 and Mckellips Rd for a fatal vehicle
collision involving a Salt River Police Officer. Upon arrival I spoke with DPS Detective
Melki #7155 who advised he needed assistance downloading the dash camera
footage from Ofc. Townsend's #307 patrol vehicle. It was determined that the truck
would need to be driven to a Salt River Police station in order to retrieve the video
footage. I then took possession of the patrol truck as well as Ofc. Townsend's body
worn camera which was given to me by Detective Melki and was escorted by DPS
Officer Wendel #10347 to the Salt River Police Main Station located at 10005 E.
Osborn Rd. Scottsdale AZ 85256.
Upon arrival at the station at approximately 1135 hours, the camera footage from
both the patrol truck and the body worn camera began to download. The body worn
camera footage was turned over to Ofc. Wendel at approximately 0128 hours on
01/09/2019. I advised Ofc. Wendel that the trucks camera footage was not available
due to it being a very large file and needed more time to download to the server.
I then tuned possession of Ofc. Townsend's truck over to Salt River Ofc. Trgiloff
#338.
On 1/9/2018 I then met Det. Melki at the Salt River Police main station to transfer
custody of the camera footage from Ofc. Townsend's patrol truck.
This concludes my involvement in this matter to date. Please see original report for
further information.

Video/Audio Forensic Report
Author: Detective J.E. Barahona #6801 AZ DPS

AZ DPS Vehicle Crimes Unit Detective J. Melki #7155
AZ1900009203 Homicide
* This report is a portion of an overall report contained within a CD/DVD. This report contains
hyperlinks to supporting data and documentation; any printed copy of just this report is
incomplete.
On 04-03-2019, Computer Forensic Unit (CFU) Sergeant D. Heltemes #6803 assigned CFU
Detective J. Barahona #6801 to assist the AZ DPS Vehicle Crimes Unit with a video/audio forensic
examination in reference to a homicide investigation. Det. Barahona was given a blue case folder,
which had an AZ DPS Forensic Video/Audio Analysis Request form completed by Detective J.
Melki #7155.
Det. Melki requested the isolation of conversations from Officer Townsend’s body camera (Item
#JCM19).
Page 1 of 10
Findings Summary:
Using forensic software/tool iZotope RX 6 Advanced, one audio file was attenuated but could
not be fulfilled to the full extent of Det. Melki’s request. This was based upon the decibel level
and frequency levels of the noise and speech being too close to differentiate between the two.
No forensic process exists to fully complete this request. One audio file was exported out and
sent to Det. Melki for his review.
PROGRAMS UTILIZED DURING THE EXAMINATION:

 md5summer version 1.2.0.11
 7 Zip Version 18.06
 iZotope RX6 Advanced Version 6.10.2340
 MediaInfo Version 18.12
 Amped Five Professional Version 12727 Build 20190212
Evidence Items:
Item #JCM19: Yellow envelope with pen writing of “JCM19, AZ1900009203, Townsend Body-
Cam Video.
Page 2 of 10
 Contained inside the yellow envelope: White CD
Search Authority:
Det. Melki advised Item #JCM19 was obtained through verbal consent from the Salt River Police
Department.
Physical Inspection:
Item #JCM19 was photographed prior to the examination process. This documented the condition of
the evidence. See Examination Photos for further.
MD5/SHA1 Hash:
A SHA1 hash value was generated for all files on Item #JCM19 utilizing forensic software
md5summer version 1.2.0.11 hashing program. The files on Item #JCM19 were copied to a
forensic computer for processing and the copied files were hashed utilizing the md5summer
program and the results compared. Item #JCM19 files and the copied files hash value were the
same indicating the files had not changed during the copying process. See Hash Files for
further.
Page 3 of 10
Evidence Identification:
Item #JCM19 contained one application file and one zipped file:
Using software 7 Zip version 18.06, file “SRPD_20191106DPS_20190109_0010.zip” was

unzipped and showed one folder and a player file.
Inside of folder “ClaytonTownsend 201901081802 WFC1016856 49113219” contained a

subfolder named “Stream 1” which had an MP4 video file named,
“ClaytonTownsend_201901081802_WFC1016856_49113219”.
Page 4 of 10
Metadata software MediaInfo version 18.12 reported the video clip,
“ClaytonTownsend_201901081802_WFC1016856_49113219”:
 Video Portion metadata:
o 5 hour and 0 minute video clip
o Pixel dimension of 720 X 480
o FPS 29.97
o CODEC: AVC1
 Audio portion metadata:
o 5 hour and 0 minute audio
o 1 channel
o Sampling Rate: 48.0 kHz
o Bit Rate: 128 kb/s
o CODEC: mp4a-40-2
o Compression Mode: Lossy
See MediaInfo for further.
Examination Processing:
Video file “ClaytonTownsend_201901081802_WFC1016856_49113219” was imported into
forensic software/tool iZotope RX 6 Advanced Version 6.10.2340. iZotope is an audio
enhancing/editing software program. iZotope reported the file information as:
Page 5 of 10
Det. Barahona reviewed the audio file and identified several amounts of background noise within
the first few minutes where the background noise overpowered the low speech. This is shown in
the below Spectrogram view.
The audio file also showed evidence of the lossy compression based on the below Waveform
view.
Page 6 of 10
iZotope RX6 filter Dialogue Isolate was applied to the entire audio file which reduced the
amplitude of background noise.
 Dialogue Isolate is designed to separate spoken dialogue from non-stationary
background noise such as crowds, traffic, footsteps, weather, or other noise with highly
variable characteristics. It can be particularly effective at increasing the level of
dialogue in challenging low signal to noise ratio conditions.
iZotope RX6 filter Gain was applied to the entire audio file which increased the level of the
audio.
 Gain module is useful for bringing the level of your audio up or down. Gain can also be
applied to a specific time-frequency selection, allowing you to manually attenuate or
boost selections in the Spectrogram window.
Page 7 of 10
On 05-14-2019, Det. Melki provided further information to his request stating, after the initial
collision with SRPD Officer Townsend, the witness stopped and ran back to the suspect vehicle
and engaged in dialogue with the suspect for a short amount of time. Det. Melki stated this brief
dialogue with the suspect is what he was requesting to hear.
The Spectrogram screenshot below showed a zoomed in view of the first minute of recording
with approximately thirty seconds after the collision with SRPD Officer Townsend. Due to the
decibel levels and frequency levels of the speech and noise being too close to differentiate
between the two, Det. Melki’s request could not be fulfilled to the full extent and there is no
forensic process, which exists to fully complete this request.
One audio file was exported out as a WAV file named,

“CT_201901081802_WFC1016856_49113219_Full Audio Work.wav” for the case detectives
review. See Exported Audio for further.
Disposition:
 A copy of this report, “CT_201901081802_WFC1016856_49113219_Full Audio
Work.wav”, and all supporting documentation was sent to the case detective via
electronic file sharing.
 Item #JCM19 was submitted back to the AZ DPS Property and Evidence Section.
