By rssfeeds-admin According to arresting documents, officers were dispatched to the 4000 block of Rudy Road on March 10 just before 11 p.m. after Patrick Jobe was reported to be unconscious and not breathing.
Officers arriving at the scene reported they found Jobe on his back wearing what appeared to be a ballistic vest that had been partially removed, and he appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound to his upper back.
Authorities spoke with Jobe’s girlfriend, Lauren Jarvis, who initially said that Jobe experienced an “unknown medical event.”
During a later interview, Jarvis told authorities she believed Jobe was in an altered mental state and acting erratically before he shot himself with a rifle. However, police stated Jarvis changed her story after being told how difficult it would have been for Jobe to shoot himself in the back with a rifle.
During the later version of the story from Jarvis, she claimed Jobe was able to hold the rifle’s trigger while she stood behind him and held the other end of the gun. Jarvis also claimed Jobe was trying to convince her that the bullets wouldn’t penetrate the vest by firing the gun into the area of his stomach and chest.
After authorities informed Jarvis that an autopsy would be performed on Jobe, they said she again changed her story, saying that Jobe was yelling at her and pressuring her to shoot him while wearing the ballistic vest.
She said she fired once, intentionally missing and shooting through an opening in the garage door before shooting the gun again and hitting Jobe’s upper back, just above where the ballistic vest was covering.
Jarvis was charged with second-degree manslaughter.
