UPDATE | DEPUTY-INVOLVED SHOOTING IN BARTOW COUNTY LEAVES 1 DEAD

📍 Cartersville, Georgia

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Justin Eric Hardin, 45, of Canton, was shot and killed during an encounter with Bartow County Sheriff's Office (Official) deputies.

Preliminary information indicates the incident began around 3:00 p.m. on March 17, when deputies and agents with the Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force attempted to execute an arrest warrant tied to a drug investigation.

The GBI said Hardin was initially stopped in the parking lot of the Days Inn off Highway 20 in Cartersville, but drove away, leading deputies on a short pursuit.

The chase ended when deputies performed a PIT maneuver on Hardin’s SUV beneath the I-75 and Highway 20 overpass.

After the vehicle was stopped, the GBI said deputies gave commands for people inside to exit.

The agency said Angela Green, 44, of Acworth, exited the passenger side and was taken into custody without incident.

Hardin, however, allegedly refused to comply with commands.

Deputies deployed OC spray into the vehicle in an effort to get him to exit, but he still did not comply.

The GBI said deputies then broke the driver’s side window to remove him from the SUV.

At that point, the agency said Hardin pointed a firearm at deputies and fired, prompting deputies to return fire.

Hardin was pronounced dead at the scene.

The GBI said a large amount of suspected methamphetamine was discovered inside the vehicle.

Green has been arrested in connection with the drug investigation and booked into the Bartow County Detention Center.
