Christopher Berak, 22, is charged with first degree murder and murder of a peace officer. Overall was killed on Thanksgiving morning in 2017. Early Thanksgiving Day, Lapeer County Sheriff deputies began pursuing Berak after he went to their jail, claiming to be God. Berak stopped twice for Deputy Paul, but drove off each time without giving him any information. Deputy Paul says they activated their overhead lights but not their sirens and continued to pursue Berak. Paul says he could see Berak, who had not been driving recklessly, now swerve and hit Deputy Overall. Overall, a well-respected, veteran member of law enforcement, died from his injuries. |
