The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office confirmed their deputies shot and killed a man in his driveway shortly after noon on Wednesday. Sheriff Bill Prummel said the man had originally called 911 to remove someone off his property, but after deputies served him an outstanding warrant, he eventually charged at them. Deputies said they responded to a disturbance between Elroy Clarke and Troy Johnson. Authorities determined the disturbance to be a civil matter. Deputies said they discovered Clarke had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and refused to be arrested. Authorities said they attempted numerous less-lethal measures to detain Clarke. “They tried to use a Taser several times, [but] it had no effect,” Prummel said. “They used pepper spray, [but] it had no effect. They used a baton, and three deputies went hands-on with him at one point when he was lying down on the ground, and he threw them off of him like they were ragdolls. “ Prummell said that two deputies fired their firearms during the scene. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said they plan to release the bodycam video after they review it. Johnson is in custody as of Wednesday night. The two deputies who fired their weapons are on administrative leave. Stay tuned to WINKNews.com, WINK News App, streaming, and on-air for any new developments on this story.
