Pike County Deputy Acquitted In Fatal Shooting

Pike County Sheriff's Office

A jury has found a former Pike County Sheriff's deputy accused of fatally shooting an unarmed man after a chase not guilty of murder and reckless homicide charges. Joel Jenkins says he was forced to kill Robert Rooker in March 2015 because he thought Rooker was leaning down to grab a weapon. Jenkins also has pleaded not guilty in the fatal shooting of a neighbor in December 2015.
