Captain Charles Brown ’Chuck’ Morgan, Jr. was a 51-year-old captain with the Jessamine County Sheriff’s Department who was mortally wounded while serving a warrant on November 13, 2001. Deputies went to the small houseboat on land where the suspect lived to serve a terroristic threatening warrant. As the three deputies entered, the man inside opened fire with a .30 caliber M-1 rifle. Deputy Billy Ray Walls was killed at the scene; Captain Morgan and a third deputy were seriously wounded. The deputies returned fire and killed the suspect.

Captain Morgan was taken to the University of Kentucky Medical Center and died of his wounds on November 28, 2001, after two weeks in care. The suspect’s houseboat reportedly contained more than 20 handguns. No arrests were made in connection with the deaths of Captain Morgan and Deputy Walls.

Did anyone in the area at the time know the houseboat or the man who lived there?
