On July 22, 2014, 29-year-old Charles Leon Johnson II was killed during a traffic stop that escalated into a confrontation in Adairsville, Georgia. An officer stopped a vehicle on Highway 140 at the northbound entrance to Interstate 75 after identifying the driver as Johnson, who reportedly had an outstanding warrant for simple battery from Richmond County. During the attempt to take Johnson into custody he reportedly tried to flee in the vehicle; the officer was dragged alongside the car and then fired a single shot that struck and killed Johnson.

The officer was reportedly run over but suffered only minor injuries and was treated at a local hospital and released. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called to conduct an independent inquiry and the officer was placed on paid administrative leave pending that investigation.

What details about the encounter or the GBI findings can anyone add who followed the case at the time?
