How they died
Deadly force
Deputies responded to the Thrift Town store at about 4:40 p.m. after store employees reported a minor theft, police said. Charles Ballard was outside his BMW SUV when the deputies contacted him, but then he allegedly got inside, put his car into reverse and accelerated, pinning the two deputies in an open door and dragging them at least 20 feet. The two deputies fired at Ballard. Ballard allegedly aimed his car in the general direction of a third deputy. He was shot and killed by the deputies.
