LITHONIA, Ga. -- Federal agents fatally shot a fugitive early Wednesday after the man refused to put down what they thought was a gun but turned out to be a shoe.
Agents went to an apartment complex in suburban Atlanta to arrest 24-year-old Youwiers Vilpie, said U.S. Marshal Richard Mecum. They were serving a warrant from the Drug Enforcement Administration office in south Florida. Vilpie also was wanted for questioning in two homicides in Ft. Myers, Fla., Mecum said.

It's always good to follow the commands of LEOs, particularly when they have their guns aimed at you.

I'd say the name Youwiers Vilpie is the result of a lost bar bet, or something...

Ya. Maxwell Smart had a shoe phone, and if I'm not mistaken, he had a shoe that shot bullets, too.
Every now and then they got confused on that show, too.
So there you go. The cops are hereby cleared.

probably a good plan to drop whatever you're told to drop when these guy SCREAM it at you to do so
this situation is not the only kind you can die from by not doing what you're told when you're told to do it by the law officials
