Deputy Stiles was attacked while he was unloading a rifle from the subject's car. The subject took his service revolver during the scuffle and pointed it at his head. He was about to shoot when the subject's wife convinced the subject not to shoot him in the head. Instead, he shot him in the stomach. Deputy Stiles continued to have complications from the gunshot wound and died after undergoing another surgery.
Deputy Stiles was a United States Army veteran and served with the Pecos County Sheriff's Department for over nine years. He is survived by a son, two daughters, parents, and a grandchild.
He is buried at the Brush Creek Cemetary, Brush Creek, Grant County, Arkansas.
