LITTLE ROCK — A Franklin County Sheriff’s Deputy shot and killed a man who charged him with a baseball bat, according to a news release from Arkansas State Police.
The deputy was called to a burglary in progress at a home on Adams Road, west of Ozark around 1 a.m. Monday. When he arrived, he found a window on a car outside had been shattered and a window on the home had been broken. Adam Cunningham, 46, was reportedly walking in the driveway and holding a baseball bat.
