New: Charlotte County Deputy Retires After Shooting That Killed Man in Deep Creek
CHARLOTTE COUNTY, FL โ Deputy First Class Timothy Poole, a 22-year veteran of the sheriffโs office, submitted his retirement, two weeks after he shot and killed 50-year-old Daniel Scott Burch during a confrontation in the Saxony Circle condo complex in Deep Creek.
Earlier that morning, deputies responded to multiple calls at the complexโfirst a criminal mischief complaint against Burch, then later a reported physical assault at the Deep Creek Golf Club.
When officers arrived, body-cam footage shows a confrontation in which Poole fired at Burch, who later died at the hospital.
The sheriff has stated that Pooleโs retirement does not affect the ongoing investigation.
Gastonia police released surveillance video from the convenience store shooting where two plainclothes detectives shot and killed a man earlier this year. Investigators said the gun he was carrying was fake. The officers involved wonโt be charged.
