Mark Charles Jessup

Deadly force

Police dispatchers began receiving phone calls from an apartment complex. Callers said there was a man threatening people. Several officers went to the area but were unable to find the man, police said. In the meantime, dispatchers began receiving another series of phone calls from Colony mobile home park. Dispatchers realized from the descriptions that it probably was the same man, and they sent officers to the mobile home park. Once they got here, some kind of confrontation took place, and Mark Jessup was shot and killed.
