How they died
Deadly force
A deputy attempted to pull over Justin "Doug" Snelson son his motorcycle for a traffic stop, but Snelson eluded him and the chase was on. After a short chase, Snelson abandoned the motorcycle and fled on foot. A deputy encountered Snelson hiding in a vacant lot. Holding a butane torch in one hand and a cell phone in the other, Snelson advanced on the deputy, who, thinking Snelson was armed, shot twice and killed Snelson. The deputy was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.
