Russell, 35, intervened when he saw Edward Strother attacking Lee County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy First Class Dean Bardes on Interstate 75.<\/p>\n<p>Strother had been pulled over for speeding but allegedly turned violent, pinning Bardes to the ground and repeatedly striking him. Russell, a concealed weapons permit holder, approached with his firearm. Bardes, seeing Russell\u2019s gun, reportedly urged him to shoot. After warning Strother multiple times, Russell fired three shots, killing him.<\/p>\n<p>Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott praised Russell\u2019s actions, and authorities determined his use of force was justified.<\/p>\n<p>Their review concluded Russell acted to prevent imminent harm to Bardes.
