How they died
Deadly force
Around 2 p.m. Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Derek MacLaren tried to pull over Brent Blevins' maroon Dodge truck. Blevins had struck a other and had been driving erratically on U.S. 90. According to a later grand jury report, he refused to stop until a Suwannee County Sheriff's Office car pulled in front of the truck east of Live Oak. Blevins got out of the pickup holding a handgun over his head refused to drop it and walked toward Trooper MacLaren. MacLaren fired six rounds hitting Blevins five times in the chest, killing him.
