Summary: |
Federal Prohibition Agent George Nantz was shot and killed while attempting to make an arrest in London, Kentucky.
He, along with other prohibition agents, local deputies, and a deputy United States marshal, had gone to the location to investigate reports of illegal liquor sales. As they entered a camp they encountered several armed men who ordered them to leave.
The officers retreated from the area to avoid a shootout. Agent Nantz obtained federal arrest warrants for the men and returned the camp the following day. They arrested four men but a fifth man began to flee. As he ran behind a building he fired his pistol over his shoulder, killing Agent Nantz.
The man who shot him was arrested, convicted of murder, and sentenced to death.
