2:30 a.m. - Deputy Joshua Moyers initiated a traffic stop at around 2:30 a.m. Before stopping, the suspect's vehicle turned off of State Road 200 on to Sandy Ford Road, Sheriff Bill Leeper said.
Moyers got out of his patrol car and approached the vehicle, which was driven by a man with a woman in the passenger seat. While attempting to get information from the driver, Moyers learned that he did not have a driver's license and the tags on the vehicle were registered to a vehicle that was stolen in Jacksonville. The driver then gave the deputy a false name, Leeper said.
Moyers asked the driver if he had any weapons and asked him to step out of the vehicle, Leeper said.
Moyers grabbed the handle of the suspect's vehicle to open the door as a nearby train approached the intersection. The railroad crossing safety lights began flashing and bells ringing, Leeper said.
“The driver’s arm came out of the window and shot the deputy one time right here,” Leeper said pointing under his right eye. “As the deputy fell down, he (suspect) reached out and shot him in the back.”
The suspect took off on foot.
