The Texas deputy who pulled over Evan Ebel's black Cadillac Thursday wasn't aware of his subject's role in the death of Colorado's prison chief. Montague County (Texas) Sheriff's Deputy James Boyd pulled over the vehicle for a simple traffic violation, but his intuition gave him other signals.
In an interview with The Denver Channel , Deputy Boyd said "something just didn't look right with the car" when he pulled it over at 11:20 a.m. After pulling to a stop, the Cadillac's driver immediately opened fire on the deputy.
