Re: Deputy Dinkheller Gunned Down by M1 Carbine rifle
Okay that poor cop - clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed - but that's what makes it sad. That scream was out of pure terror - definately not the sound a hardened cop makes. Poor guy was too nice and dumb for his own good. As for the Vietnam Vet - you know, blending gruesome battle experience and sacrifices with ungrateful, downright cruel treatment from your own country's citizens upon return home can really give your preexisting mental condition a real kick in the ass. I've heard adding a little LSD works as well... |

Re: Deputy Dinkheller Gunned Down by M1 Carbine rifle
(what happened to the passanger in the pick up??) Wiki: Kyle Wayne Dinkheller (June 18, 1975 - January 12, 1998) was a deputy with the Laurens County Sheriff's Office in Georgia. Near the end of his shift on January 12, 1998, Dinkheller pulled a motorist over for speeding. A confrontation ensued and Dinkheller was shot and killed. The suspect was wounded in the stomach by a shot from Dinkheller's service weapon. Despite the wound, the perpetrator, Andrew Brannan was able to flee the scene but was discovered the next morning hiding in a sleeping bag beneath a camouflage tarp in Laurens County, Georgia. by police and arrested for the murder of Dinkheller. Brannan pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, however the jury found that the murder of Dinkheller was carried out in a torturous and cruel manner.[1] Brannan was found guilty of murder on 28 January 2000 and sentenced to death on 30 January 2000.[2] Confrontation and Shootout Dinkheller encountered a speeding Toyota truck near Dudley, Georgia which he clocked at nearly 100 miles per hour (160 km/h). The deputy pulled the truck over on a rural dirt road adjacent to Interstate 16. The traffic stop at first appeared to be routine with both the deputy and Brannan exiting their vehicles and exchanging greetings. Brannan, however, placed both hands into his pockets at which point Dinkheller instructed him to remove his hands and keep them in plain view. At this point, Brannan became belligerent and yelled at the deputy to "shoot him". He then began to dance and wave his arms in the middle of the road. At this point, Dinkheller radioed dispatch for assistance and issued commands for Brannan to cease his behavior and approach the cruiser. When Brannan saw that the deputy was calling for other units, he ran toward the deputy in an aggressive manner. Dinkheller retreated while issuing commands and utilized his baton to keep Brannan at bay. On Dinkheller's cruiser video, Brannan was heard shouting that he was a "Vietnam combat veteran" and that he "is in fear for his life".[3] Despite commands issued from Dinkheller, the suspect walked back to his vehicle and drew an M1 Carbine from under the driver's seat. He took cover near the driver side door. Dinkheller positioned himself near the passenger door of his cruiser and fired a shot at Brannan but missed. After the first shot, a barrage of gunfire was heard. Dinkheller did not strike the suspect initially and was forced to reload. At this point, Brannan ran from the truck toward the deputy and began to fire, hitting Dinkheller in exposed areas such as the arms and legs. Brannan then began to reload his weapon as the now injured Dinkheller tried to position himself near the driver side door of the cruiser. Another shot from Dinkheller was heard. Brannan began advance firing at the deputy, hitting him numerous times. Before being disabled from gunfire, Dinkheller was able to inflict a gunshot wound to the stomach of Brannan. After being struck and clutching his stomach, Brannan then raised his weapon and fired two more shots with one striking Dinkheller in the head, killing him. Brannan then retreated to his vehicle and fled the scene.[4] Aftermath Brannan was arrested the next morning without incident. He was found guilty on January 28, 2000 for the murder of Dinkheller and sentenced to death.[5] As of December 2010, he is still incarcerated in Georgia. The entire incident was videotaped on Dinkheller's cruiser dashboard camera. The video is now used throughout law enforcement to train new officers. Dinkheller is survived by his wife, daughter, and son. His wife gave birth to their son in September 1998. Dinkheller was buried in Fountainhead Memorial Park in Brevard County, Florida. |
