BENTONVILLE -- A Benton County sheriff's deputy has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of a Lowell man.
Charles "Chase" Nation, 31, was killed Sept. 23 inside his home at 304 N. Bloomington St., No. 9.
Benton County prosecutor Nathan Smith released a letter to Sheriff Shawn Holloway last week clearing Deputy James Chamberlain of any criminal conduct in the shooting. Smith found the shooting was justified under Arkansas law.
The Arkansas State Police investigated the shooting and turned over the case file to Smith for review.
Lowell police officers were called Sept. 22 concerning Nation's attempts to fight his neighbor, according to Smith's letter. Nation also contacted Lowell authorities at various times, and police, along with probation and parole officers, prepared warrants for his arrest, according to the letter.
