Deadly force
Deputy Lucky Burrell responded to Larry Wayne Peterson's rural New London home at around noon. Peterson's family members were attempting to take two cars away from Peterson and were preparing to take him for a mental evaluation, the sheriff said. Burrell went inside to talk with Peterson, who allegedly pulled a kitchen knife out of a drawer and lunged at Burrell. Burrell shot Peterson twice, killing him.
