CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Below is a list of incidents during the past five years in which West Virginia police agencies investigated other police, along with the known outcomes of those investigations:

Oct. 14, 2005 - Charleston Patrolman Brandon Tagayun was responding as backup for another officer on a domestic violence call at the Kanawha Mall when his cruiser collided with Patsy Sizemore's pickup truck at a Kanawha City intersection. She died at the scene.

A State Police report on the wreck estimated Tagayun's speed at 79.76 mph, nearly twice the posted speed limit on MacCorkle Avenue.

A report funded by the city estimated his speed at 60 mph. Both reports also said there was no evidence Sizemore was wearing a seat belt.

Six months later Tagayun submitted his resignation letter to Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster, who didn't say if Tagayun was asked to resign.

"Any discipline on him would be a moot point since he's resigning," Webster said at the time.

In March 2007, Tagayun pleaded guilty to speeding and failure to use his cruiser's emergency lights. A charge of negligent homicide was dropped.

Tagayun received one year of probation and was fined $100 for each charge.

He returned to the area after living in his home state of California, and in July 2008 was sworn in as a St. Albans police officer.

June 15, 2006 - Charleston Police Sgt. Eric Johnson was shot once in the face and once in the abdomen. He returned fire, killing Brett Lawrence Hanick. The officer accompanying Johnson, Capt. Tim Tucker, did not have his service weapon with him and hid from the gunshots.

Tucker was placed on administrative leave immediately. Charleston police completed their internal investigation into his actions in August 2006. Tucker, the third-highest-ranking officer in the department at the time, remained on paid leave until he retired in September 2006. His retirement meant he wasn't punished for not having his firearm when Johnson was shot.

At the time, Webster said, "Any disciplinary action that would have been recommended at this time would be a moot point."

June 17, 2007 - Charleston lawyer Roger A. Wolfe said he was taken to a small room in the South Charleston State Police barracks and beaten until cranial fluid came out of his nose. He said police then attempted to cover it up. A lawsuit by Wolfe alleged four officers were directly involved: Paul A. Green, Jason S. Crane, Kristy L. Layne and J.K. Rapp Jr.

On Oct. 1, State Police settled Wolfe's lawsuit for $200,001.01, plus attorney's fees and expenses.

According to court filings in the lawsuit, State Police conducted their own criminal and administrative investigation into the incident but did not prosecute or discipline the officers.

July 13, 2007 - Eight people were ticketed shortly after leaving the wedding of local lawyer Lyne Ranson and Jan Willem Van Egmond at Berry Hills Country Club.

July 13, 2007 - Eight people were ticketed shortly after leaving the wedding of local lawyer Lyne Ranson and Jan Willem Van Egmond at Berry Hills Country Club.

State Police Trooper Kristy L. Layne wrote four of the tickets, and Kanawha Sheriff's Department K-9 Deputies W.C. Moyers and C.M. Morgan wrote the other four. Gov. Joe Manchin, who attended the wedding, called Sheriff Mike Rutherford that night to inquire about the police presence. At the time, Manchin told the Gazette he didn't know whether the wedding appeared to be targeted, but he said there was "unusual activity in a small, remote area on the night of a very large wedding."

At the time, Ranson told the Gazette she believed the deputies and trooper targeted her wedding guests because she represented Moyers' ex-wife in a divorce case. She also said Moyers and Layne had a close relationship.

After an investigation into the incident by the Sheriff's Department, Rutherford said he couldn't discuss personnel matters but that the department "took the appropriate actions."

State Police also conducted an investigation into their officer's involvement, though details were never released to the public.

February 2008 - Kanawha Sheriff's Deputy Sgt. Matthew Cummings was demoted to the rank of corporal and placed on a 30-day suspension without pay. Sources close to the investigation said Cummings, a county K-9 officer, took a county cruiser without permission and drove to his home, where his wife was staying while they were temporarily separated. Deputies found him visibly upset sitting in the cruiser outside the house.

February 2008 - Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputy James Young resigned in the midst of an internal investigation, Rutherford said. Sources close to the investigation said investigators believe he repeatedly lied to them about whether he knew about alleged illegal activity going on inside his home near St. Albans.

March 22, 2008 - A 12-year-old boy was struck by a State Police cruiser driven by Trooper H.D. Stone around midnight in Beckley. According to the incident report prepared by the State Police, a man said he saw someone skateboarding in the middle of the road just before Curtis Webb was hit. His death was ruled an accident.

In the report, Stone said he was traveling in the left southbound lane of Robert C. Byrd Drive at about 45 mph when he heard a loud bang and saw that his windshield was broken.

April 2008 - Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputy Brian R. Martin was fired, according to Rutherford. The sheriff said he couldn't legally provide details as to why Martin was terminated. Sources close to the investigation said Martin was fired because he was caught falsifying paperwork for the apartment complex where he lived. The paperwork involved a rent break he received as long as he was employed as a law enforcement officer.

July 5, 2008 - Desmond Demetrius Clark walked into the Taco Bell on Charleston's West Side and shot the mother of his child, Na'lisha Fiona Gravely, killing her. He was convicted of murder and is serving life in prison.

Two Kanawha County magistrates told the Gazette that police asked for leniency when setting bond on Desmond Demetrius Clark because he was providing information to police. Magistrates did not specify which agency the police officers were from.

Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster said an extensive internal investigation into the matter turned up absolutely no proof that Clark was an informant of any kind for police.

Sept. 12, 2009 - Charleston Police chased Brian Good from Charleston to a gravel lot along Quick Road in Kanawha County. Police said Good was shot and killed as his truck rammed into a police cruiser. Charleston Patrolman Jerry Jones was accidentally killed by police gunfire.

The Kanawha County Sheriff's Department investigated the incident.

Two weeks later, on Sept. 28, Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants and Sheriff Mike Rutherford cleared the officers involved of any wrongdoing.
