OHIO COUNTY, Ind. — No charges are being filed against the woman who fatally shot the man who was attacking an Indiana Conservation Officer in Ohio County on February 20.
The incident started when a resident called 911 to report a male in a pickup truck that was parked in part of the caller’s driveway and in a lane on the highway.
Conservation officer Chris Powell responded to the call and realized Justin Holland, 25, may have been impaired and tried to put him in handcuffs.
Holland resisted and pinned Officer Powell to the ground.
A female neighbor fearing for Officer Powell’s life and came to his aide and shot Holland in the upper shoulder.
He later died at the Dearborn County Hospital.
The prosecutor’s office and investigators are not releasing the female’s name.
