Police allege that they received calls that a neighbor exhibited bizarre behavior by being seen with a fencing mask and sword in or around his home. They called NYPD who arrived, saw Weber with a fencing mask and 2 swords and fired a taser at him, then shot and killed the man. Police allege that he was screaming inside but the details of the circumstances under which he was killed were not passed on by police. Yelling in his own home and wearing a complete fencing outfit is not an illegal act but police did not disclose why they shot and killed him when they entered his home and saw him in his fencing gear.

Alan Weber was known to be a skilled elite fencer and it is not known whether an incident occurred or he was in his common fencing gear and misunderstood by a neighbor and shot upon sight by police as the narrative suggests. Weber was an owner and head coach at Elevate Fencing Club and was a five-time US national team member and Olympic alternate, according to the Rockland Fencers Club Facebook page. He won a medal for the United States at the Pan American Games in 1995.

Nye County deputies were dispatched to a home where a family argument was underway. John Beaudoin who was not allowed to have a gun allegedly had one and police were called. Deputies arrived and claim that he pointed a gun. Police escalated a standoff.

“I’m on Bunarch Road and Deputy Meyers said that he’s going to come and get me. But to tell you the truth, I’m going to kill myself before I go outside,” Beaudoin reportedly told dispatchers before he again threatened suicide. “I’m John Beaudoin, I didn’t do nothing wrong, but I’m going to kill myself before I go outside. I’m not going to jail again. You guys can have all of the s**t that I got. I don’t care no more.”

Numerous beanbag rounds were fired with 3 hitting him. He fled into the house once the impact munitions struck him. Throughout, he was described as distressed, holding a gun to his head while under police assault.

Police claim that he raised his weapon at deputies but it is unclear how deputies saw that unless they invaded the home. Deputy Huggins fired 4 shots into his torso, deliberately killing him.

Kern County Sheriff’s Office officer Amanda Plugge escalated a high-speed against 31-year-old Jack Lee Brown who was driving a Geo. The driver being chased lost control and crashed into 2 motorcycles, a Yamaha and a BMW who were coincidental third-party motorists on the road. The motorcyclist on the BMW died. The Geo spun out of control after collision with the 2 motorcycles and in a second collision, officer Amanda Plugge who had evidently not observed a safe distance when hunting Jack Lee Brown in the Geo, hit the Geo, killing Brown. Deputy Plugge was not hurt but her chase created 2 fatalities and 1 serious injury. Kern County Sheriff’s Office did not give any reason for initiating the chase which police almost always do first if they can justify their actions. No reason or indication for urgency that may be warranted to escalate a dangerous chase is being given by police who have no comment thus far why this multi-fatality chase was undertaken in the first place. The crash occurred on State Route 178 near Kelso Valley Road at 11:44 p.m. on 10/07/2023.
