Suicide
A deputy tried to stop an unidentified 62-year-old man for speeding on US 75, and a high-speed chase ensued on county roads east of the highway. According to police, the driver displayed a gun and tried to drive away after his pickup went into a ditch after he was cornered on a dead end road near Union. The man then allegedly got out, fired his gun and ran off into a wooded area. The deputy called for backup and the area was cordoned off. The NSP sent its SWAT team and a helicopter to search for the man. The man was reportedly found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at around 7:30 p.m. near where the chase had ended about 2.5 hours earlier.
