COURT RECORDS SAY THE CASE STARTED FRIDAY MORNING WHEN A GOOD SAMARITAN -- WE'LL CALL HIM SAM -- WAS AT A FISHING ACCESS ON BESSEMER BEND ROAD WHEN LOVELACE APPROACHED HIM AND ASKED TO USE HIS CELL PHONE BECAUSE HE HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY 911 CALL.

SAM WANTED TO HELP, LOANED LOVELACE HIS PHONE, AND LOVELACE GOT BACK IN HIS PICKUP AND DROVE OFF.

SO SAM DROVE HIS ATV TO CATCH UP WITH LOVELACE, WHO PUT HIS PICKUP IN REVERSE, DROVE BACKWARDS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, POINTED A GUN AT SAM AND TOLD HIM TO PUT HIS HANDS UP.

SAM WAITED UNTIL LOVELACE WAS OUT OF SIGHT, DROVE HOME, CALLED HIS WIFE, THEN CALLED 911 SHORTLY AFTER NOON.

SHE USED AN APPLICATION TO LOOK FOR SAM'S CELL PHONE, WHICH WAS NEAR MONUMENT AND SHARROCK ROADS.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WENT TO THE AREA AND FOUND LOVELACE'S PICKUP AT HIS MOTHER'S HOUSE.

HIS MOTHER SAID HER SON CAME IN THE HOUSE WITH A RIFLE, HANDGUN, AMMUNITION AND WENT INTO THE ATTIC.

DEPUTIES HAD EVERYONE LEAVE, AND UNSUCCESSFULLY ASKED LOVELACE TO SURRENDER.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE'S SPECIAL RESPONSE TEAM EXECUTED A WARANT ON THE HOUSE AND LOVELACE FIRED FOUR SHOTS FROM WITHIN THE ATTIC.

SRT OFFICERS THEN PUMPED CHEMICAL MUNITIONS INTO THE ATTIC THROUGH A VENT, AND LOVELACE FIRED TWO MORE SHOTS.

AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, LOVELACE KICKED A HOLE THROUGH THE CEILING OF A BEDROOM, CLIMBED OUT A WINDOW, AND BEGAN RUNNING WITH A HANDGUN.
