When they got to the area, they came across Richard Bagley, who was in front of Ameris Bank.
When officers attempted to engage with Bagley, he ran through the parking lot. But then he stopped, threw down his backpack, and pulled out a knife.
Officers said they gave several commands to drop the knife, but Bagley did not follow. As a result, officers deployed their TASER two times without making a successful connection.
A K9 unit from the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene, and that’s when Bagley threw down the knife and complied.
