The officers reportedly told Hambleton he was going to be arrested on sexual assault charges when he took off on foot, leading to the confrontation. Police have identified the officer who shot Hambleton as 30-year-old Jeremy Hendricks. Hendricks remains on paid leave pending an investigation of the incident.
