Greene County Sheriff's investigators say the Yellow Springs officer involved in Monday's shooting will not be charged.

Early Monday morning, Officer Timothy Knoth, responded to a call concerning a person with an emotional problem. Police say when he arrived on scene, 24-year-old Corey White began attacking him with a tire iron. Knoth then fired his weapon, hitting White.

The Greene County Sheriff's office met with prosecutors today to review the case, and found Knoth acted in self-defense.

Prosecutors charged White with one count of felonious assault with a deadly weapon. White is being held at the Greene County Jail.

Knoth was previously on paid leave from the police department while the case was investigated.
