The reporting party advised the suspect's name as Gary Tremble. Several other calls were received in
regards to a black male with a handgun that was forcing entry into several residences in the area.

male was combative after an attempt to detain him was made. Additional units arrived on scene and assisted
in detaining the suspect. The suspect was sweating profusely and Deputies on scene were advised the
suspect had possibly been under the influence of Ecstasy, alcohol and crack cocaine by his wife. The

Hospital. The suspect’s death was confirmed by hospital personnel at 06:06 hours. Investigators responded to
