How they died
Deadly force
There was a domestic disturbance at the Quality Inn, starting around 6:30 a.m. A woman called officers there several more times, the last time shortly after 12:30 p.m. The man, Michael Leon Hughes, had forced his way back into the room after he had left earlier. When two officers arrived, Hughes refused to leave. The officers tried to take Hughes into custody, and there was a more than 60-second fight with one of the officers. Hughes reportedly got control of Officer J. H. Wing's Taser and stunned him once and then the officer shot and killed him.
