OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 05/16/2025, around 1:22 a.m., a Jones County sheriff's deputy attempted to stop a Jeep driven by 54-year-old Ronald Evans near a recreational complex on GA-49. Evans, who was reportedly driving slowly, not wearing a seatbelt, and appeared to be under the influence, refused to provide his driver's license and drove away. The deputy pursued Evans for approximately two miles until Evans abruptly turned into the parking lot of C&J’s Supermarket. Upon exiting his vehicle, Evans allegedly pointed a firearm at the deputy. The deputy fired multiple shots, killing him. Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills is leading the investigation into the incident. Dashcam footage is expected to be released on Monday, and the involved deputy is scheduled to return to duty next week.
