Georgia DA plans to charge officer who shot naked man

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — An Atlanta-area prosecutor said today he plans to seek an indictment of a police officer who fatally shot an unarmed naked man last year.

DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James said he would ask a grand jury to indict Officer Robert Olsen of the DeKalb County Police Department, who shot Anthony Hill on March 9 while responding to a call of a man behaving erratically outside a suburban Atlanta apartment complex.

The family of the 27-year-old Hill says he was a U.S. Air Force veteran who struggled with mental health problems.

James said he plans to present the case to a grand jury on Jan. 21. He plans to ask grand jurors to indict Olsen on two counts each of felony murder and violating oath of office and one count each of aggravated assault and making a false statement.

DeKalb County police spokesman Maj. Stephen Fore said he couldn't comment on an ongoing investigation.
