On Sunday, June 3, 2018 at about 6:30 p.m. Mackinac County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to a residence to investigate a report of a felon in possession of a gun with children at the residence. Two deputies arrived at that residence and when they approached the residence a man appeared with a long gun and leveled it at the Deputies. One of the deputies fired his duty weapon striking the suspect in the hand. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. earch warrants were obtained for the residence and items. Several charges were issued by prosecution. After State Police review and review by the prosecutor’s office the deputies involved were justified in their use of force in this incident and were returned to full duty shortly after the shooting.
James Avery Blevins 39, of St Ignace pled guilty on July 19, 2018 to:
• Felon in Possession of a Firearm
• Felon in Possession of ammunition
• Assault with a dangerous weapon (Felonious Assault)
And had the following charges dismissed as part of a plea agreement
• Felony Firearm
• Dangerous Weapon possession –metallic knuckles
• Assault with Intent to commit Murder
The 11th Circuit Court held a hearing this morning to sentence Blevins. Blevins received a sentence of 30 months to 60 months (2.5 years to 5 years) on the charges. He has been transported to Marquette branch Prison to begin his sentence. “We are happy that this matter is now concluded†said Sheriff Strait ““Deputies train for this regularly and hope that they never are put in this situation. This could have ended very differently, this individual who chose to point a loaded shotgun at a deputy sheriff is very fortunate to be here and the quick reaction by the deputy clearly saved his own lifeâ€Â

“ Where you hurt at ?â€Â
Where the hole is
this cop straight up used deadeye on this guy, even shot him in the hand too! total badass
The Police have to tell dispatch shots fired right?
No sorry “shooting soundsâ€Â
He was tryna get his life on track, go to college
The cop didn't announce his presence or I at least didn't see it, that's dangerous the guy could have thought he was a thief
Iam Sorry?! Really?!
Got served!
With all the people on here taken like that know some shit there's a lot that went down that day and for the ones that say I am mingle challenged we you most not know me very well because first I am your friend naw a fow don't talk shot till you know the hole story
walking around mans property.
"What are you doing bringing a gun around here?"
"where you hurt at?"
"um.. everywhere? "
That was quick
Where u hurt at!?? As if… that dude probably died! Damn!
I think he wants to die that's why he pointed a shot gun in a police officer and not to shoot the police officer😢💆so sad hope he survive poor manðŸ™Â😢
Guy the second he hit the ground: "That…was a bad idea…"
What are you going when 2018 you going officer when could you come
Que when 2018 you going police this
CNN : man shot by police when trying to show cop his Christmas gift
wow he got of easy, a shot to the hand and a plea deal for 2,5 years in prison, now thats luck!
it was nice wen officers let now the people they are there and not schooting wen see a gun
The 2nd officer was shootihg while holding a pen! That is lack of training; that officer needs to retrain or a new training from Thunder Ranch, Knockoutlights, or TimKennedy
and remember guys, officers don't die, they respawn at the academy.
Quick, burn all major cities down police did it again. Oh wait, hes white…
They were pretty cool cops. They didn’t start dragging him around after shooting him.
OmG! poor guy shame on cops. lmao ppl be reacting like that. u get what u deserved period.
Maybe the police didn't announce they're coming and the man was just defending his property and got surprised by the cops, and until he understand what was going on…
We'll that was quick
Mossberg 590 shotgun
Suspect is polite duud, He said hes sorry. He seems drunk as a skunk though.
🤣😂🤣😂
ðŸÂ£ðŸÂ£ðŸÂ£
Another reason cops die. I swear y’all some stupid fucks always posting police brutality I mean y’all might show one or two good cops mostly nothing worth see
Threat Neutralized
Poor guy
I bet the officer was somewhat relieved that he didn’t fully eliminate the threat.
He got 2½ – 5 for that? Probably for Diminished Capacity I don't think he knew what he was doing. Safety was probably on too.
This guy is 39?
Coolest deputy ever.
Your coming around the back of his house you should have said, sheriff or police,
What is the soundtrack at 00:25 ?
The classic story…Guy points gun…Guy gets shot…Guy is dead or sorry…Cop gets blamed…
Isn't that Golem from Lord of the Rings??
