Written by In 2013, Deputy Bowcutt was involved in a high-speed pursuit that ended with the fatal shooting of Mr. Burkinshaw. The pursuit reached speeds of 50 mph and continued into a residential area. After blocking Burkinshaw’s vehicle in a cul-de-sac, Bowcutt exited his patrol truck, drew his weapon, and fired three rounds through the windshield, killing Burkinshaw. A lawsuit alleged excessive force and wrongful death, but the court found Bowcutt’s actions reasonable under the circumstances.
