It’s North Carolina.

Davie County Sheriff Andy Stokes says he accidentally shot Deputy Chris Fleming after Fleming and his police dog had been shot by a man during a standoff Wednesday night near Mocksville.

I mean, Bob Marley tried to give you instructions, but no ….

But there was a happy ending any way.

Stokes later spoke to Fleming in Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where Fleming was treated for a minor facial wound and a flesh wound in the shoulder. Stokes said he told Fleming that he had accidentally shot him.

Fleming then said to Stokes, ‘Sheriff, you was just doing your job,’” Stokes said. “He understood the situation. He’s (Fleming) a cop. He understood the necessity of it.”

It’ll be fun to see who volunteers to go on a raid with the sheriff next time.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
