At Rest

Deadly force
Butler County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Heath West responded to a complaint in which Roy Felty, 39, had chased his brother out of the house at knife point and was waving a knife at his niece, who called police. Felty, who was mentally ill, had been living with his parents. West shot and killed Felty when Felty approached the deputy with the knife.
This record exists so that Roy Felty, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
