Twenty-year-old Sidney Alexis Renew was shot and killed by deputies Monday afternoon after she stole a Ford F-250 and tried to run over two deputies.

Scott Wilder the Public Information Officer with Polk County described the scene. "Witnesses said she 'revved the engine and she had it floored. It was quickly accelerating right towards the deputies. It had actually come past the deputies in through two trees and hit the ditch, and that's where it stopped, the engine was still running in drive."
