Terry Lee Cockrell

Deadly force

Around 10 p.m., a woman told dispatchers she was awakened by an acquaintance standing over her bed with a weapon, police said. The woman reportedly had a protective order against the man, Terry Lee Cockrell. Upon reaching the house, deputies reportedly found signs of forced entry with scuff marks on and near the door. Deputy Mic Bonin found Cockrell hiding in the backyard, but he ignored commands to stop and fled into a wooded area near the home. Deputies gave chase, then commanded him to stop and show his hands, but Cockrell reportedly stated a gun was in his pocket and that he wanted the deputy to shoot him. When Cockrell reportedly reached toward his pocket, Bonin shot and killed him.
