NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A grand jury has decided that charges aren’t warranted against a Norfolk officer who struggled with a man who later died.
The 42-year-old man, Andrew Murphy Sr., died at a hospital after the incident at a Norfolk motel on Jan. 7. The grand jury concluded on Tuesday that no crime had been committed by the officer, who has not been named. Nebraska law requires that a grand jury investigate whenever someone dies in custody or while being arrested.
Madison County Attorney Joe Smith said Wednesday morning that he would release autopsy results later in the day.
