Man Who Shot at Car Thief Won't Be Charged
The case of a car theft victim who fired shots at the man who was stealing his truck from a Walmart parking lot went before a grand jury. The grand jury decided there should be NO CHARGES filed in the case.
Desi Arnez Lawrence, 55, apparently laid his keys down in the Brainerd Walmart September 11. Police say that Christopher Goins picked up those keys and headed outside. They say he found Lawrence's truck and was driving off as Lawrence walked outside. When he saw his stolen truck driving off, he pulled a handgun and opened fire at the perpetrator.
Chattanooga police spokesperson Nathan Hartwig said investigators presented an indictment case against Lawrence to the grand jury Tuesday on the charge of Felony Reckless Endangerment for the shooting.
Hartwig said, "The Grand Jury decided a 'No Bill' on this case, so there are no charges against Lawrence. The case on Goins is still pending further investigation."
