TAMPA As expected, a judge has refused to grant bond to the man suspected of killing a longtime Hillsborough sheriff s deputy while on the run from the law, after a lengthy bond hearing.
Three deputies who responded to the disturbance blamed on suspect Travis Garrett testified at his bond hearing. Prosecutors also played deputies body cam videos that showed the encounter with Garrett at the Paddock Club Apartments, who was naked, including deputies attempts to tase him, which were unsuccessful.
Responding deputies also described the crash that killed Hillsborough Sheriff s Master Corporal Brian Lavigne, posthumously promoted to Sergeant. Lavigne was killed January 11th, on the verge of retirement after three decades on the force.
