ISP: Indianapolis Man Arrested for Shooting Two Kirklin Town Marshals
CLINTON COUNTY, Ind.–An Indianapolis man accused of shooting two Kirklin Town Marshals in Clinton County last month was arrested on Thursday.
In an update Friday afternoon, State Police said 29-year-old Jehrome Bowens was arrested and charged with attempted murder, battery by means of a deadly weapon, theft, and unlawful carrying of a handgun.
Bowens was released from a hospital in Indianapolis area hospital on Thursday and immediately taken to the Clinton County Jail.
The incident happened on November 18 when a Clinton County deputy conducted a traffic stop on State Road 29. The Kirklin Town Marshal’s Office assisted the deputy during the stop.
State Police say it was Bowens who fired a handgun at the officers and hit the two Kirklin marshals. One of the marshals had to be taken to a hospital. The other marshal was hit, but was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, which prevented injury.
There were four adults and one child in a vehicle where the traffic stop happened. One adult was hit by gunfire and had to be taken to a hospital, but survived. Two other adults and the child were not injured.
