When Deputy Voiers attempted to arrest him he opened fire. Deputy Voiers returned fire until he was fatally wounded.
The suspect fled the area on foot. He was involved in a shootout with officers from the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Police and taken into custody two days later in Gallipolis, Ohio.
Deputy Voiers was a widower and was survived by several children.
