How they died

Deadly force

Apparently playful, and with a high blood-alcohol-level, Spann knocked on the door of an off-duty deputy and ran off through a residential area. The deputy gave chase and caught up to him. Spann is said to have then tackled the officer and went for control of his weapon. The deputy shot him twice, fatally.
