According to the sheriff’s office, Deputy Charles Williams was among those called to a Fishhawk Ranch neighborhood to help Gracepoint mental health counselors with an involuntary evaluation of a 21-year-old man.

At the time, deputies said, Nicholas Furgason was cooperating with the evaluation. But when he learned he was being taken into custody under the state’s Baker Act, he ran from the home into some nearby woods.

The Deputy caught up with Furgason on a trail and calmed him down, but as Williams was taking him into custody, body cam video shows Furgason reached around his shoulder and stabbed the deputy in the neck with a knife.
