Antonio J. Whetstone

Deadly force

Deputies responding to a disturbance call found Whetstone in a motel room, in the midst of an argument with a woman he was staying with, his girlfriend, and his girlfriend's 1-year-old child. Whetstone is said to have taken his girlfriend in a chokehold as a human shield before being fatally shot by deputies. The incident was controversial; an insurance investigation found reason to doubt the police version of events.
