Bailey Pearson

Deadly force

A deputy was responding to a shots fired incident in a mobile home mid-afternoon on New Year's Eve. A woman allegedly gave the deputy false information stating that Pearson had run out the back door, but the deputy attempted to locate Bailey within the home. According to the deputy, Pearson suddenly appeared at the front door armed with a .45-caliber pistol and raised the gun after being told more than once to drop it. The deputy then shot and killed Pearson.
