Tim Becker and KOIN 6 News Staff - McMINNVILLE, Ore. (KOIN) -- A passenger in a car that was pulled over in McMinnville was shot to death by a Yamhill County deputy after he began running.

The routine traffic stop turned into a deadly confrontation about 20 minutes after it began around 7:30 a.m. near a car dealership across from Highway 99.

On Thursday, the McMinnville Police Department clarified some details of the event:

There were 3 people in the car: The driver/owner, a passenger in the front seat and in the back seat was Kevin Lamont Judson.

The owner of the car, who did not want to go on-camera, told KOIN 6 News he didn't know Judson. The driver said he picked him up and was giving him a ride when the deputy pulled his car over for a traffic violation.

The driver said Judson then jumped out of the car and began running. Something that looked like a meth pipe was laying on the road behind the car that was pulled over.

The driver and front seat passenger stayed in the car, and a Yamhill County deputy stayed with them.

A foot chase ensued across Highway 99, with Deputy Richard Broyles chasing Judson. Broyles came up on Judson in the parking lot of Christensen Auto Sales and Tire Factory, officials said.

McMinnville police said Deputy Broyles and Judson were involved in a struggle. "At the time he was shot, (Judson) was alone in the driver's seat of Broyle's patrol vehicle," McMinnville police said in a release.

Judson, a resident of Dayton, Oregon, was 24. An autopsy showed he died from 2 gunshot wounds.

Investigators spent 7 hours documenting the scene.

"We want to make sure we're getting all the information that we possibly can before we leave the scene," said McMinnville PD Capt. Tim Symons. "It's really hard to go back and get that information once we've left the scene."

The driver was detained for a time, but was allowed to drive off around 1 p.m.

Broyles, a 16-year veteran of the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office, is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
