In February 2020, Officer Jonathan Clark, an 18-year veteran of the Lawrence Police Department, was involved in a non-fatal shooting following a pursuit that began as a theft call. The suspect was shot twice and critically injured. In September 2020, a Marion County grand jury indicted Officer Clark on charges of aggravated battery, battery with a deadly weapon, and battery resulting in serious bodily injury. However, in September 2024, these charges were dismissed due to a key witness’s lack of cooperation ahead of the scheduled trial.([fox59.com](https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/lawrence-police-officer-indicted-on-multiple-charges-following-february-shooting/?utm_source=openai))
