STARKE, Fla. – A second man arrested Wednesday was inside a car that was pursued by police before two deputies opened fire and killed a man, the Bradford County Sheriff's Office said.

Deontay Anqawn Risby, 21, was arrested after he admitted to being the third person inside the car, the Sheriff's Office said. Investigators also discovered at some point during Tuesday's incident that Risby was in possession of a firearm.

Risby was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was also charged with violation of probation, stemming from previous felony arrests that include robbery and burglary.

Risby was ordered held without bond Thursday on the probation violation charge until he goes before an Alachua County circuit judge. Bond was set at $100,000 on the gun charge.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackles, Risby rolled his eyes when the judge at his first appearance said he was a danger to the community.

Risby's grandmother said after Thursday's hearing that she's praying for her grandson.

Jaylon Hankerson, the man the Sheriff's Office said was driving the car that deputies were pursuing, was arrested on a second-degree felony charge of fleeing and attempting to elude. He was given a $75,000 bond and, should he post bond, must wear a GPS monitor and abide by a curfew.
