Steven Ray Wilson – Hendersonville Police Department

0

In May 2020, Officer Wilson was involved in an incident where he and at least one other officer responded to a domestic disturbance call at the residence of James David Hochstetler. During the encounter, Hochstetler alleged that the officers became aggressive, knocked him to the ground, used a Taser on him multiple times, and ultimately shot him at point-blank range without sufficient provocation, causing life-threatening injuries. Hochstetler filed a civil rights lawsuit against Officer Wilson, the City of Hendersonville, and the Hendersonville Police Department. However, the lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge in August 2023 due to procedural issues, including the timing of the filing and improper service.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
