According to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to a home on Sandy Pines Drive on Oct. 23 just after noon by the homeowner. Elroy Clarke. The sheriff’s office said Clarke tried to remove Troy Johnson, who lived on the property.

“He was basically a landlord type tenant, Troy was there, they had an argument, he wanted Troy to leave,” Sheriff Bill Prummell said during a news conference Friday.

Sheriff Prummell said that at the scene, officers discovered that Clarke himself had a warrant for his arrest.

Body camera footage of the incident was released on Friday, which shows officers trying to arrest Clarke. CCSO said Clarke was uncooperative and deputies used stun guns, pepper spray and a “less lethal” shotgun with bean bag rounds to take control of Clarke, but none of them worked.
