it was referred to the 4th Judicial District Grand Jury for further investigation.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cAs we heard witness testimony, evidence, and expert opinions, and worked through deliberation, the Jury gained a better understanding of the decisions made by the deputies involved, and the actions they carried out on scene,\u201d a release from the 4th Judicial District Grand Jury reads.<\/p>\n
A release from the Grand Jury read that it was initially concerned with what appeared to be a \u201clack of communication\u201d between the deputies and the manner in which their response was executed. <\/p>\n
The Grand Jury said Prine \u201cexhibited active, aggressive resistance, lunging forward into another officer.\u201d They said Prine struck a deputy with their taser, then attempted to grab a firearm from another deputy\u2019s duty belt. <\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Prine gained possession of the taser while deputies were attempting to restrain him,\u201d the Grand Jury said. \u201cKoehlinger, who was at the base of the driveway speaking with Mr. Prine\u2019s wife, then heard a scuffle, which caused him to advance towards the porch. He heard the pop, saw that Mr. Prine had possession of an active taser, and responded to the threat.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Grand Jury issued a No True Bill for both El Paso County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy Brenden Koehlinger and El Paso County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy Juanito Cuellar, meaning the Grand Jury did not find probable cause to support that either deputy committed any criminal offense,\u201d the Grand Jury said.<\/p>\n
