How they died
Deadly force
Deputies responding to a call about a drunk man turning violent encountered Adam Dean Knowlton in a bedroom closet with a 12-inch long edged weapon. Knowlton disobeyed orders to drop the weapon and come out of the closet, so a deputy pepper sprayed him. The enraged Knowlton came out of the closet brandishing the edged weapon, so another deputy tasered Knowlton. Knowlton was still brandishing the knife and advancing on the deputies when a deputy shot and killed Knowlton.
