No charges for deputy in fatal traffic stop shooting of Indiana man pardoned by Trump

Associated Press  

— A sheriff’s deputy in northwestern Indiana will not face charges in the fatal shooting during a traffic stop of a man who days earlier had been pardoned by President Donald Trump for a misdemeanor related to the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot. The Jasper County deputy was “legally justified in using deadly force to defend himself” in the Jan. 26 killing of Matthew Huttle, the Clinton County prosecutor’s office said in a release. The deputy fired multiple shots after seeing Huttle raise a firearm while stating “I’m shooting myself,” according to prosecutors. “He is not a true believer in any political cause,” defense attorney Andrew Hemmer said in a court filing related to the U.S. Capitol charges.
