A 9-1-1 caller said a man was beating a woman in the road. The caller said the man had a revolver and a knife. When the deputy arrived, Jeffrey Jacobs was outside the mobile home holding the gun. Police said the deputy ordered Jacobs to drop the weapon several times before Jacobs allegedly pointed the gun at the deputy and was shot and killed. A later report said Jacobs had a pellet gun.
