A man jailed after being charged in the shooting of a Double Springs police officer earlier this week has died.
Officers made contact with the driver –Adair – near County Road 55. At that point, the chief said, Adair made a U-turn and fled from the officers. They ended up back on Highway 278 at which point a deputy tried to cut off Adair and Adair struck a sheriff’s patrol vehicle, Miller said. Officers gave verbal commands for him to roll down the windows. “He opened fire on them,’’ Miller said.
