At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies were called to the home after dispatchers received a call that said Spencer was "manic-depressive, violent and out-of-hand," police said. When deputies arrived, a family member let them in, and the deputies went upstairs to Spencer's bedroom to talk to him. Spencer was arguing with a family member when the deputies arrived. When they reached the bedroom, the deputies tried to talk to Spencer but he immediately pointed a shotgun at the them, which led to the deputies to shoot and kill him.
