Deadly force
Deputies had responded to a home several times earlier the previous day to serve a felony probation warrant on Fred Trundle. Deputies arrived at approximately 11:15 p.m. and attempted to arrest Trundle. Trundle retreated from the backyard inside. Deputies reportedly used a Taser in order to arrest him, but it was not effective. Trundle came out of a bedroom with a shotgun, threatening to shoot the deputies. Deputies retreated. At approximately 11:57 p.m., Trundle came out of the residence onto the front porch. Trundle allegedly pointed the shotgun at the nearest deputy. One deputy fired multiple times, killing Trundle.
This record exists so that Fred “Bo” Bowman Trundle, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
