DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Officials in eastern Iowa have released the names of a suspect and bailiff involved in a courthouse shooting.
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said Friday in a written statement that Story County Courthouse bailiff Timothy Hutcheson fired a shot from his service weapon as he, another bailiff and a Davenport police officer tried to subdue 29-year-old Adam Demarcus Lafrentz.
Investigators say the officers were responding to a report of a disturbance outside the courthouse when they encountered Lafrentz carrying a blunt object. Officials say Hutcheson fired his gun as the other bailiff used a stun gun on Lafrentz that seemingly had no effect on him.
No one was hit by the gunshot, and Lafrentz was taken into custody. Hutcheson remains on administrative leave.
