Master Deputy Conley Jumper died on 10/20/20 while on duty. Deputies initiated a traffic stop on northbound on I-85 near White Horse Road just before 3 p.m. when at least one of the occupants of the vehicle engaged deputies in a physical altercation and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, the suspect’s vehicle accelerated and ultimately collided with a tractor trailer. Another deputy’s patrol car also collided with the suspect’s vehicle. Three deputies were transported to the hospital along with two individuals from the suspect vehicle. Master Deputy Conley Jumper was severely injured and was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The other two deputies are expected to recover as are the occupants from the suspect vehicle.

Officials said that he would be posthumously promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Jumper is survived by his wife, Sarah, and his daughter, Catherine. He had served with his K9 partner Vinnie.
