body of deputy and passenger pulled from river

One of the deputy's last communications was a text to his wife that said, "Arrest," Johnson said.

"His wife texted back and said, 'That's good' or 'That's great,'" Garrett said at a press briefing earlier on Thursday. "We know that his phone did not evidently receive that text."

At nearly the same time, Leonard also made a radio communication to dispatch, shortly after 10 p.m., Johnson said.

"Dispatch couldn't tell what he was saying," he said. "We think he was saying, 'Water.'"
