A deputy on patrol saw a white Ford Expedition traveling at 70 miles per hour in a 55 mile an hour zone. The Expedition sped away and the deputy pursued. The suspect vehicle was lost, but police got the license plate number. The owner was identified as 45-year-old Christopher Allan Noe who reportedly had an active felony warrant. Officers checked the home for Noe, but did not find him. Shortly after they left, they received information that Noe was inside the home, and they returned. They saw a man through a window who looked like Noe. Police entered the home and ordered Noe to surrender, at which time he reportedly produced a knife. A Taser reported was discharged, and Noe began advancing toward the officers, who shot and killed him.
