Beavercreek Police Detective Rodney Curd is investigated by the Ohio Attorney General

On the evening of August 5, 2014, Beavercreek Police Detective Rodney Curd interviewed Tasha Thomas regarding the shooting of her boyfriend at a Walmart store. John Crawford III was shot by Beavercreek Police after picking up an unloaded BB gun from Walmart's shelves. Store security video would reveal that Crawford never threatened anyone with the replica gun.

Rodney Curd was criticized for his callous and clueless interrogation of a fully cooperative crime victim. At the time, Curd only knew a rifle was involved. He was incredulous to Tasha Thomas' assertion that Crawford did not bring the rifle into the store. Curd was unable to detect that Walmart sells guns.
