Officers from the Raleigh Police Department attempted to stop a driver, who was wanted on multiple charges, including two counts of kidnapping. The suspect immediately fled at a high speed.
Bobby attempted to deploy spike strips at approximately 7:45 a.m. but he was struck and killed by the suspect's vehicle.

The man continued to flee but was taken into custody a short distance away after he crashed into a guard rail.
Bobby began his law enforcement career as a deputy with the Edgecombe County Sheriff's Office. Before joining the Highway Patrol he was an officer with the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles Enforcement Section.
Comrades describe him as a dedicated family man and a man dedicated to the State Highway Patrol.
Bobby is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his sister; his wife and his son.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
Let us pray that Bobby Gene DeMuth is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
