Casa Grande, Arizona

From Mesa’s East Valley Tribune of June 21, 2007
Man turns himself in after fatal shooting

A man suspected of shooting and killing another man in self-defense gave himself up to authorities and was released Monday by the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office.

Floyd Boggs turned himself in shortly after the incident, which occurred at Thornton and Hanna roads near Casa Grande. Authorities said Boggs shot and killed Don Crawford in the neck with a rifle after Crawford attacked him with an axe handle.

The two were arguing over welding equipment that Crawford accused Boggs of stealing. After further investigation, the Pinal County Attorney’s Office decided that Boggs acted in self-defense. Detectives, however, are still looking into the case.
