OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 03/12/2021, two deputies from the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office went to a residence on Augustine Road to serve a court order to take Raymond Tarbox II into custody. During the encounter inside the home, deputies said Tarbox was holding a butcher knife and resisted their efforts to restrain him. Deputies deployed a taser, which did not stop him. One deputy then fired a gun, killing Tarbox at the scene. A grand jury later reviewed the case and ruled the killing justified. No criminal charges were filed against the deputies.
