\nThe Kentucky State Police Post 16 in Henderson was requested by the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office to investigate an officer-involved shooting near Hawesville Tuesday (01\/14) afternoon.<\/p>\n
Kentucky State Police was contacted just before 4 p.m. CST regarding the incident in the 100 block of River Street. Troopers and detectives responded to the location and the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
The preliminary investigation indicates Lewisport Police Department (LPD) officers attempted to serve an arrest warrant on 60 year-old Carl P. Newhard, Lewisport, Kentucky, when he fled in a vehicle. A pursuit of the fleeing suspect went into Hawesville where Hancock County Sheriff’s deputies utilized a tire deflation device, ending the pursuit.<\/p>\n
During the encounter, Newhard brandished a handgun at law enforcement and a deputy with Hancock County Sheriff’s Office fired his agency-issued firearm, striking the individual.<\/p>\n
Newhard sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, where he is in stable condition. No other injuries were reported.
