William “Willie” Eugene Lyons

Suicide

Officer Taylor Miller responded to a reported disturbance in Cougar Country. As Miller arrived, he saw a motorcycle with no license plate leaving. The officer attempted to stop the motorcycle, but the operator, William Lyons, refused to stop. The chase reached speeds of over 100 mph, continued until the driver apparently lost control of the bike, laying it down in a driveway. As Miller approached, he saw a flash and heard a gunshot, and Lyons reportedly shot and killed himself.
