A man who killed three people, including a sheriff’s deputy, in a dispute over drugs was executed by lethal injection in Missouri on Wednesday night.
Earl Forrest, 66, was pronounced dead at 7:18 p.m. at the state prison in Bonne Terre, Missouri Department of Corrections spokesman Mike O’Connell said.
Forrest killed an acquaintance, Harriet Smith, and a visitor at her house, Michael Wells, in a dispute over methamphetamine, on Dec. 9, 2002. He shot both of them in the face, within a range of a few inches, according to court records.
Forrest and his girlfriend then fled Smith’s house in the southern Missouri town of Salem, taking with them a lockbox containing an estimated $25,000 of methamphetamine. Later, he got into a shootout with law enforcement and shot and killed sheriff’s deputy Sharon Joann Barnes, according to the records.
Good riddance.
