How they died

Deadly force

A deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on a car just after 6 p.m. The driver was driving erratically and consistent with someone who was under the influence, police said. The car eventually stopped, but took off again. Deputies used stop sticks three times which flattened three tires before they decided to use a PIT maneuver. The driver allegedly made a sudden threatening movement, and Ronald Lawson was shot and killed.
