John Stanley Lewis

How they died

Deadly force

With the power still out after Hurricane Frances, deputies fired five shots to kill Lewis at his home. He'd previously been arrested for molesting a minor, had shot himself in the death in a local motel in an unsuccessful suicide attempt, was wanted on 30 counts of possessing child pornography, and had met the deputies on his porch with gun in hand.
