Authorities arrested a Riverdale teen wanted in the fatal shooting of a Clayton County sheriff’s deputy.
Jonathan Bun, 17, was taken into custody at dusk Wednesday following a massive search that included officers from several dozen jurisdictions, Clayton police spokeswoman Tina Daniel said. Surrounded by law enforcement, Bun was transported by ambulance to Southern Regional Hospital -- the same place where 55-year-old deputy Richard “Rick” Jerome Daly was pronounced dead just hours earlier.
Daly’s death marks the first time a Clayton County law enforcement officer was killed in the line of duty, Sheriff Kem Kimbrough told reporters early Thursday morning.
“We are devastated,” Kimbrough said. “For us to have never lost an officer before this was a phenomenal streak of good luck. And good luck, like everything else, has its time and its limits.”
Outside the hospital, Channel 2 Action News interviewed Joyce Daly, the slain officer's mother.
"He loved his job," Joyce Daly told the station. "He was a Christian, and that’s what is helping me get through all of this. He just wanted to help people."
Daly said she was still in shock over the loss of her son, the oldest of six children.
"He took care of them, he took care of us, he just did everything for us and for me and everything," she said.
Kimbrough said Daly was staunchly devoted to his family.
“Several times we had discussed assignments and opportunities he could’ve taken to advance his career,” he said. “But his first thought was always his family, and we admired him and respected him for that.”
And Daly’s enthusiasm for policing was an influence on his son, who is a Fayette County deputy.
Bun, however, has had a clouded past that authorities hope to sort out through juvenile records.
“There’s a lot of very sketchy information about him at this point,” Kimbrough said. “I’m sure that there will be a picture that develops of him in more detail as time goes on.”
The teen, wanted for an unrelated armed robbery, was pulled over by the 25-year law enforcement veteran around 3 p.m.
Deputies from the sheriff’s fugitive squad were looking to serve an arrest warrant on Bun and spotted him getting into a car near his home near Church Street, Kimbrough said.
From their unmarked car, the fugitive team members followed arrest protocol and called for a patrol car to make a traffic stop.
Daly was one of the deputies in that patrol car.
The three cars – the car Bun was riding in with an acquaintance, the unmarked car, and Daly’s patrol car – all stopped near the intersection of East Fayetteville and Walker roads, just west of Riverdale Road.
When Daly approached the passenger side of the car where Bun was seated, “Mr. Bun allegedly stepped out of the passenger’s side and began firing his weapon, striking Deputy Daly,” Kimbrough said.
Although Daly was wearing a ballistic vest, one bullet hit his shoulder and another, authorities believe the fatal blow, pierced his abdomen just below the body armor, severing Daly’s aorta, authorities said.
Bun allegedly ran from the car, disappearing into a nearby tree line as Daly’s fellow deputies fired at the fleeing teen.
Kimbrough said deputies quickly surrounded the large wooded area and an alert went out for law enforcement officials to look out for Bun.
Over the next several hours, law enforcement officers from local, state and federal agencies across the area poured into Clayton County to help establish a perimeter around the wooded area where Bun was hiding, Kimbrough said.
“Believe it or not, old-fashioned police work helped,” he said. “Once units arrived, they established a perimeter so he could not leave. And as more units arrived, they did a sweep of the area … all the tactical units walked through the woods and walked right to him.”
Bun sustained biting injuries to his head and neck from a police dog during the capture, authorities said.
“He was actively hiding and attempting to elude law enforcement,” Kimbrough said, citing how the teen was bitten.
But Bun’s injuries are not believed serious.
too damn bad. but his criminal career is over. here is the dirtbag:
