Deputy John Stubbs, a two-year veteran of the agency, stopped a driver, Carlos Garcia Petrovich, for driving erratically, but he was not cooperative and fled, police said. Since it was a traffic infraction, Stubbs couldn't chase after Petrovich. He spotted Petrovich stopped at a Pilot gas station, approached him and tried to arrest him but he ran. Stubbs chased on foot to the other side of the gas station and called for backup but Petrovich became violent, and the two ended up fighting. Stubbs shot and killed Petrovich.
