Date of the incident: 5/30/2015

Cottonwood, Yavapai, AZ
Yuma Circle

Deputies pulled a car over that contained Proctor and five others. They asked for his identity. Violating probation, Proctor gave an alias instead, then fled his vehicle. Deputy Steven Gorman chased him on foot, shooting him in a backyard with a stun gun to no effect. Proctor turned and attacked the deputy, who then tried to subdue Proctor with pepper spray. Proctor, unaffected, grabbed for the deputy's gun. The deputy fatally shot him, then was taken to a hospital.
