Sumter County Sheriff’s Deputies Tase Gunman

Officer body cam footage showed the end of the incident, where officers made a tough call in real time. And they did so after reports the suspect fired on passing cars. A Sumter County Sheriff’s Office release said officers also visibly saw the suspect wave a gun in their direction during a standoff.

The incident began when officers responded to calls of a man allegedly shooting at passing cars. Officers saw the suspect, 41-year-old Miguel Navarro, wave a gun before throwing it down and fleeing, reported cbs12.com. He then reportedly jumped back in his vehicle and sped away. The ensuing chase ended in a crash, where deputies pulled out rifles, ready to engage a threat.

The suspect then “abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot,” the Sumter release said. “Deputies took to a foot chase, tased the suspect and successfully took him into custody.”

Multiple vehicles reportedly took fire from the suspect, according to Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. However, no injuries were reported.
