There is little media coverage on this case. Foskey's mother may have called 911 to report that he was leaving the house in an agitated state connected with drug use. Two deputies either stopped his car on the highway or found it stopped with Foskey apparently unconscious, or not. After Foskey made a movement with his hand, Deputy Brandon Merritt shot him 1-17 times and was cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury.
