How they died
Deadly force
After reportedly drinking all night with family members, Roy Jacobs Jr. called law enforcement offering to turn himself in on an outstanding warrant. Three deputies responded to the apartment and encountered Jacobs sitting in a reclining chair with a female relative on top of him. She was attempting to take a large hunting knife away from Jacobs. The deputies cleared the room and Jacobs stood up out of his chair, brandished the knife and advanced toward one of the deputies. The deputy shot and killed Jacobs who was 3 feet to 6 feet away.
