An officer-involved police shooting in Jasper County, IN back in January has been ruled 'justified under Indiana law.'  The Jasper County sheriff's deputy who fatally shot 42-year-old Matthew Huttle during a traffic stop will not face criminal charges.   The ruling was handed down by Special Prosecutor Chris Vawter, who conducted an independent legal analysis of the evidence by prosecutors in Clinton County.

Matthew Huttle of Hobart was shot and killed by a deputy. The Jasper County Sheriff's Office (Thursday) released body and dash camera footage to the public showing the initial traffic stop up until the moment a deputy, believing Huttle posed a deadly threat, fired several shots at him.  Huttle had been pulled over for allegedly speeding 70 mph in a 55-mph zone on Indiana 14 just before 4:30 pm Janaury 26.

Huttle was recently pardoned by President Donald Trump for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol building. He had been pardoned just a week before, along with others involved in the events of January 6, 2021.
