How they died
Deadly force
A deputy had been looking for Bess--who was wanted on drug-related felony and misdemeanor warrants and a traffic-related warrant--when he learned Bess had been spotted nearby. Police said Bess fled on foot, and the officer encountered him behind a barn at another residence. The deputy stopped about 50 feet away from Bess, who produced a knife. The officer told Bess several times to drop the knife and get on the ground, but instead he charged the deputy, who shot and killed him.
