The Death of Douglas Zerby Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

Douglas Zerby was intoxicated and decided to walk to a friend's house instead of drive. His friend was not home so he waited on the top step of the porch and fidgeted with a garden hose nozzle. A nearby neighbor saw Douglas and believed he was holding a gun and called in to report him. When police arrived, they watched him and then shot him to death.
