Also, I have NEVER heard of a sheriff calling someone on the phone and begging them to please come down and set for a spell when the subject was a felony warrant.

Must be a small community thing. Happens frequently around here. Also the calling of friends and relatives to pass the word. Community ties and reputation determine whether this is an option for the sheriffs deputies.

I didn't catch the fact that deputies had attempted to serve him in daylight. Better Cooper dead than the LEOs just trying to do the job and being killed for their efforts. Cooper made his bed.

I think that when the charge is aggravated assault, and the guy filing the charge is credible, most sheriffs stop giving a hoot about local reputation--because that sort of thing is just doggone SERIOUS. It kinda ruins whatever good rep you had prior to said incident.
