An officer-involved shooting in Pope County is under investigation.
The U.S. Marshals Service requested the Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigation look into the matter.
On Tuesday, at around 9:30 p.m., deputies with the Marshals Service and an officer with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources were attempting to serve an arrest warrant issued from Indiana on 40-year-old Floyd Caudill of Oakland City, Indiana.
Caudill was tracked to the Lake Glendale Campground in Golconda. The officers made verbal contact with him, but he refused to exit his tent. A shot was fired from within the tent and a deputy marshal returned fire. Caudill was subsequently found dead in the tent.
An autopsy is pending.
