Grand Jury To Consider Fatal Police Shooting Case

Prosecutor Jason Wharton says that the grand jury will decide what the next step will be.

 

Wharton says he'll present a report on the investigation to the grand jury. But he says he can't say release the date.

 

Three Wood County deputies shot 32-year-old Jody Wilson of Lubeck on March 18 during a standoff at his parents' home. The sheriff's department has said the deputies fired at Wilson after he shot at officers.

 

Wharton requested a State Police investigation after an internal investigation by the sheriff's department found that the deputies didn't violate department policies.
