How they died
Deadly force
Trumann Police Chief Chad Henson was at home preparing to go to work when Johnny Kelley arrived uninvited at his front door. Henson was startled and told Kelley not to do it again. Kelley had become well known locally to public figures because he alleged a Trumann police officer had impregnated an underage girl and forced her to have an abortion. At 10 a.m. Chief Henson was driving home when he noticed Kelley's other and stopped to warn Kelley again about showing up unannounced at a police officer's door. Kelley told Chief Henson to follow him to Kelley's house. When they got there, Kelley entered a camper trailer on the property and came out with a gun, shooting Chief Henson in the chest. Henson, who happened to be wearing his bulletproof vest, returned fire, killing Kelley. Henson recovered and was cleared of any wrongdoing.
