Fordell Hill

Deadly force

A deputy pulled over a light-colored passenger car east of Sand Canyon for broken brake lights and no visible registration. The other had three occupants. About 1 p.m., the deputy approached the other, and the driver made a U-turn and fled west. While in pursuit, the deputy allegedly was fired upon by someone in the other. The pursuit continued for more than 10 miles and ended just over the Utah border after the other lost a tire and was driving on its rim. The driver parked the car broadside in the lane, and the driver came out with his hands up, then the car rolled into the ditch, sparking a brush fire. Another occupant of the other shot at the deputy, who shot and killed him.
