Suspect dead in officer-involved shooting
An investigation is underway after the suspect is dead in an officer-involved shooting.
Around 8:08 p.m. Saturday, a Trooper with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency attempted to stop a driver on a motorcycle on Cobbs Ford Road in Prattville.
ALEA says the driver refused to stop and a chase ensued.
The chase continued onto I-65 South and went into the city limits of Montgomery before ending near the 2800 block of Springfield Drive.
From there, the driver, identified as 27-year-old Jacob Hutchinson, of Lawley, exited the motorcycle and began running on foot.
ALEA says Hutchinson pulled out a knife during the foot pursuit. Subsequently, ALEA personnel fired their weapon, fatally injuring Hutchinson.
No officers were injured during the course of the incident.
The State Bureau of Investigation is taking over the case. Once complete, the findings will be turned over to the Alabama Attorney General’s Office.
