Event : Killed by police during standoff for domestic disturbance
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
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.

Sarasota County deputies escalated a chase against a driver for unknown reasons. The driver did not stop and the deputy attacked the vehicle with a PIT maneuver. The deputy alleged that somehow, in the process, the driver tried to ram her patrol vehicle and she shot and killed him. So far, no eyewitnesses or objective evidence have been located to compare to the official police narrative. It is unclear whether the “ramming” was connected to losing control during a PIT maneuver or a true attempt to drive toward the officer. No dashcam video for verification is available.

Officer(s) : Amanda Plugge
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
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.
