Kystie Jaehnen, the good Samaritan who came to the officer’s aid, likely saving his life.\u00a0 (Photo: Fox19 Now<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Someone is physically attacking an officer of the law who is by himself.\u00a0 Meaning, he has no backup.\u00a0 Of course, you’re going to call 911 to report the incident if you have a phone handy.\u00a0 But as you wait for the police to arrive, do you get involved?\u00a0 Do you come to the aid of the officer, perhaps putting yourself in harm’s way to save his life?<\/p>\n

What if you have a firearm nearby or on your person?\u00a0 How does that factor into the equation?<\/p>\n

As you ponder those questions, consider the story of\u00a0Kystie Jaehnen of Rising Sun, Indiana. She is now the subject of a civil lawsuit for coming to the aid of an officer in need.<\/p>\n

Ms.\u00a0Jaehnen shot and killed 25-year-old Justin Holland in February 2017 after she watched Holland\u00a0 “overpower,” according to eyewitnesses, an off-duty Indiana conservation officer who was responding to a call about a “disheveled man” in a “suspicious vehicle.”\u00a0 Despite just finishing his shift, the officer took up the call, arriving at the scene in his marked police cruiser.<\/p>\n

Reports say<\/a> that as the encounter escalated, the officer tried to put handcuffs on Holland.\u00a0 That’s when things between the two men got physical.\u00a0 Holland was getting the better of the officer.\u00a0 Believing that he may be reaching for the officer’s gun, Jaehnen who was in the area intervened.\u00a0 She shot Holland once in the shoulder, fatally wounding him.\u00a0 Jaehnen told authorities that she did so because she feared for the officer’s life.<\/p>\n

It appears Mr. Holland, pictured above, had prior run-ins with the law. (Photo Fox 19 Now<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Following an investigation, authorities opted not to bring criminal charges against Ms.\u00a0Jaehnen.\u00a0 Along with witnesses that corroborated her account of the shooting and the events leading up to it, police found drugs in Holland’s car and in his system.\u00a0 A toxicology report revealed he was high on meth, marijuana methadone, benzodiazepines,\u00a0and dextromethorphan.<\/p>\n

Seems like an open-and-shut case.\u00a0 A tweaker resists arrest, gets physical with a cop, overpowers the officer and right before it gets really violent a law-abiding citizen steps in and saves the cop’s behind.\u00a0 \u00a0Case closed!\u00a0 Maybe on the criminal side of the law — but not on the civil side.<\/p>\n

Holland’s family is now suing Ms.\u00a0Jaehnen, the officer and\u00a0the Indiana\u00a0Department of Natural Resources.\u00a0 The family alleges that\u00a0Jaehnen used excessive and unjustified deadly force against Holland.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we understand is our guy was parked legally in front of someone’s house. It was taken out of context. The off-duty officer engages him and the woman comes out and shoots him,\u201d said attorney Blake Maislin in an interview with Fox 19 Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the officer was truly in harm\u2019s way and he was going to die, she had the right to defend him,\u201d Maislin continued.\u00a0\u201cBut over and over what we have is a story of somebody engaging somebody else and claiming self-defense.”<\/p>\n

Sgt Bill Halbig,\u00a0of the Aurora Police Department, believes the lawsuit is “ridiculous.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a life or death situation. When you have someone that is trying to get your gun deadly force is justified,\u201d said Halbig.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn’t ask for it. She came to his aide and ended that deadly situation — which could have been very deadly in my opinion\u00a0to the conservation officer,\u201d Halbig continued.<\/p>\n

Halbig is now leading the charge to raise money for\u00a0Jaehnen’s legal defense.\u00a0 He started a GoFundMe<\/a> page.\u00a0 Thus far, it’s raised over $25,000.<\/p>\n

“This case is about more than the right or wrong of one party suing another,” says Halbig on the GoFundMe page. “Imagine not being able to come to the aid of another person for fear of being sued, possibly to the point of bankruptcy.\u00a0 The case is about a person having the basic God-given right and the 2nd Amendment right to defend both yourself and others and without the fear of civil retribution.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
