How they died
Deadly force
Deputies trying to serve a grand jury indictment to Howard Polk Jr. (sale of a controlled substance) shot Polk after a high-speed chase. The chase ended at about 1 a.m. when officers rammed Polk's truck at the intersection of Highways 13 and 35, forcing it off the road. Polk is said to have opened fire on deputies who then returned fire and killed Polk. No officers were injured.
