Paul M. Bailey

How they died

Deadly force

A deputy responding to a noise complaint encountered Paul M. Bailey, his brother and a woman who were allegedly high on LSD and yelling at the cars passing by. Bailey allegedly "attacked" the deputy's other. As the deputy attempted to handcuff Bailey, Bailey's brother sucker-punched the deputy. A struggle between the Baileys and the deputy ensued and ended when the deputy shot and killed Bailey. An officer responding to the deputy's call for assistance found the deputy shaken, covered with blood with bite marks on his arm.
