Deadly force
Sgt. Jerry Quint shot Encarnacion Nevarez Sr. in the back from a "distant range" during an early morning altercation between Nevarez, his sons and three deputies. According to officials, Quint used a Taser on one of Nevarez's sons. Quint claimed he shot Nevarez after he allegedly attacked another deputy with a board after Quint had Tasered his son. Nevarez's wife said that Quint shot her husband as he was running away from deputies. The county agreed to pay Nevarez's survivors $1.1 million to settle a lawsuit.
