Deputy Sheriff Ulysses Brent was shot and killed in Robertson County while attempting to arrest a man on a bench warrant.
The man had been previously arrested by Deputy Brent for disorderly conduct but failed to appear to face the charges. Deputy Brent and another deputy went to the man's home in Robertson County to arrest him. The man at first cooperated and asked to go inside to get something. When he came back out he opened fire with a shotgun, killing Deputy Brent.
The other deputy was able to arrest the man.
Deputy Brent had served with the Sumner County Sheriff's Office for two years. He was survived by his wife, nine children, and four siblings.
