As Corporal Richard Findley was laid to rest Thursday, we learned more about his actions to defend his life on the tragic day he died in the line of duty.

According to court documents, in the moments before his death, Cpl. Richard Findley was able to squeeze off several shots at the pickup truck that was speeding toward him. At least one bullet grazed the passenger in the truck, but missed the alleged driver, Ronnie White, records show.

A short time later a neighbor reported that a bleeding man had gone into a nearby apartment and that's where the arrest was made.

ABC 7 News has learned police also found a substantial amount of drugs, along with guns in the suspect's apartment. Officers also report finding drugs in another apartment on a lower level of the building.

Prince George's County police are still exploring whether the two drug discoveries were in any way linked.

The passenger in the stolen pickup, identified as Gerald Wright, was treated and released. He has not been charged with a crime.
