Minisode: Fallen Officer (Kaia Grant)

"She was kind of one of those people that you knew when you met her, this is somebody we need. This is somebody who is going to make a difference in our community." -Springdale Police Chief Thomas Wells
33-year-old Kaia Grant is the first police fatality in the line of duty in the history of Springdale. Kaia Grant was killed in the evening hours on Saturday March 21, 2020 in a crash that also injured Sgt. Andrew Davis.
A suspect was leading police in a neighboring jurisdiction on a pursuit. Officers Grant and Davis stepped in to help. I-275 is where Officer Grant and a police sergeant were getting ready to deploy stop sticks near State Route 4. Police say the driver intentionally swerved toward them, hitting them both. Officer Grant was flown to a local hospital, and sadly, did not survive. The sergeant suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was released. Police indicated that the suspect, 42-year-old Terry Blankenship, was taken into custody.
The incident is still being investigated by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
