Issac Tillery

How they died

Deadly force

Bullard called the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office the afternoon of Jan. 19 to report he was pursuing a weaving motorist. The warden reported that the automobile nearly hit two other vehicles, swerved completely off the road and almost struck several mailboxes, police said. The warden activated his emergency siren and lights, but the driver would not stop. After nearly two miles, the motorist, Issac Tillery, stopped at his sister's home and ran inside, emerging from the house brandishing a large butcher knife and a steak knife. He advanced on the warden who shot and killed him.
