A man shot to death by a Johnson County sheriff’s deputy was paroled last year from a Kansas prison after serving time for assaulting a corrections officer.

Johnson County authorities say 46-year-old Matthew L. White died after being shot Thursday.

The sheriff’s office says a deputy investigated when he saw a vehicle facing the wrong direction on an Olathe street. After the man fled, another deputy caught up with him. White was shot and died at the scene.

The department did not release any other details.

Neither deputy was injured.

The Kansas City Star reports that White served time for assaulting a corrections officer with a knife in Johnson County in November 2004. He also had a 2001 conviction for aggravated battery involving great bodily harm.
