ATLANTA - A man accused of killing an off-duty Fulton County Sheriff’s deputy took the stand Wednesday, claiming he acted in self-defense after the deputy stalked and propositioned him for sex.

Alton Oliver, 26 , testified that Deputy Thomas James, Jr. rode up to him three separate times in his personal vehicle around 4:30 that morning, demanding he give Oliver a ride and perform oral sex on him.

"Mr. Thomas come back a second time, he comes back with the headlights off," Alton Oliver, the defendant, said. "He blurts out, saying, ‘Get in, get in, let me give you a ride. Let me suck your d---’"

He said the third time, he opened fire.

"As he get close, I get spooked," Oliver said. "I pull my firearm from my waistband and I fire it in his direction."
