Deadly force
A deputy followed Nelms to his niece's home after getting reports that Nelms was driving erratically. The officer waited for backup. Meanwhile, Nelms smoked a cigarette and drank some beer. After the second officer arrived, Nelms went into the house to get a knife, and the two deputies shot and killed him inside the kitchen door.
