US EditionFormer Georgia Officer Who Fatally Shot Naked Man Pleads Guilty to Aggravated Assault
- Robert "Chip" Olsen, a former DeKalb County police officer, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to aggravated assault for fatally shooting Anthony Hill in March 2015 at an Atlanta-area apartment complex.
- The case originated when Olsen responded to reports of an unarmed, naked man acting erratically, and in early 2016, he faced formal accusations such as murder and aggravated assault.
- In 2019, a jury convicted Olsen of aggravated assault, two counts related to breaching his official duties, and providing false information; however, after his appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed some of these convictions last year due to improper admission of evidence during the trial.
- Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson sentenced Olsen, age 63, to 15 years with 12 commuted to time served and three years probation, plus 100 hours community service, with his lawyers stating relief he will not serve more time.
- District Attorney Sherry Boston stated the plea brings closure to this tragic case that has lasted more than a decade and hopes it offers some peace to Anthony Hill's family.
