Two juveniles have been charged with throwing a rock through the windshield of a sheriff’s SUV, which left the road and rolled over several times after the deputy lost control, thinking he had been shot in the face.

The Boyle County deputy had been called out to investigate reports of someone throwing rocks at trucks on Jan. 27 in the early morning. Half a mile out, a rock was launched from a passing vehicle, shattering the windshield and hitting him in the face with an estimated speed of 100 mph.
