Vickers, in a white Dodge pickup, drove away from troopers who tried to stop him in relation to a drunk driving complaint. He led troopers, later joined by sheriff's deputies, on a 15-minute long chase, which ended when troopers used spike strips to stop the truck. Vickers pulled over, stepped out of the truck and drew a .22-caliber revolver. Troopers and deputies told Vickers to stop approaching them. He ignored them. Trooper Alan Stephen and Deputy Robert Strahan fatally shot Vickers.
