Fox News
Two other deputies have resigned since the incident, though the sheriff's office claims those moves are unrelated to the shooting.
"Our deputies attempted to serve the arrest warrant," Wooten told reporters in a statement released Wednesday. "They fired the shots. They've been put on administrative leave until we know all the facts." "What I will say is that if evidence shows that any of my deputies violate the law or policies, they will be held accountable," Wooten added. Maj. Aaron Wallio of the Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Friday that the seven deputies were on leave, while two others have resigned and one has retired since the shooting of Brown in Elizabeth City, The New York Times reported.More Related News
