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.
