Jeremy Pickup

How they died

Deadly force

Deputy Sheriff Jeff Yarborough was responding to a report of two intoxicated people in a parking lot at the Mid-America Industrial Park. When Yarborough arrived, the man ran. The deputy chased Pickup around two buildings before cornering him. At that point, the man began walking toward Yarborough, threatening to take his gun away and kill him. Pickup ignored repeated orders to get on the ground and charged at the deputy, who shot and killed him.
