According to a news release from the Holmes County Sheriff's Office, a deputy tried to conduct a traffic stop after seeing a GMC Jimmy run a stop sign near Main Street in Noma. A check of the truck's license plate revealed the tag was assigned to another vehicle. The driver, Wood, led the deputy on a chase that crossed several miles over the state line into Geneva County, Ala., and back into Noma. HCSO reported that as deputies were setting up a roadblock, Wood swerved and left the roadway, almost striking a patrol car before steering the truck toward a deputy. The deputy shot and killed Wood.
