How they died
Deadly force
Gloria Rust, 50, called law enforcement because her husband had just attacked her leaving bruises and had shot out the tires of one of their trailers. When Marion sheriff's deputies arrived they learned that Craig Rust was behind the house. When the deputies made their way around the house they saw the suspect riding a lawn mower with a beer in his hand. Deputy Robert Youmans ordered Rust to turn off the lawn mower and to put the beer down. Rust seemed to be complying but after he turned off the mower he picked up his gun and aimed it at Youmans. Youmans and Lt. Alberto Ramirez fired at Rust killing him.
