Jefferson County juvenile defends home with bow and arrow. One man dead.

Authorities in Jefferson County are investigating the death of a 40-year-old theft suspect killed by an arrow shot by a juvenile who says the man ran at him. 

The Jefferson County Sheriff announced details on Tuesday about the incident that happened Friday.  

An attorney for the juvenile’s family told authorities that the juvenile was about to go bow hunting for deer when he saw Michael Stotts trying to steal a lawn tractor and wood splitter. 

During the confrontation, Stotts allegedly ran toward the juvenile. 

The attorney says the juvenile warned Stotts several times before firing.
