The officer in the shooting death of Damon Barstad inside the Toledo Police Safety Building was been cleared by a Lucas County Grand Jury Friday.

Officer Carl Schwirzinski II, 42, the Field Operations day-shift officer assigned to guard Barstad at the time of the incident was found to have followed department policy when Barstad charged officers as they opened his holding cell.

Barstad was not handcuffed at the time, and had gained control of an officer's Taser.

He was being held in relation to a homicide in Warren, Michigan, in which authorities allege he stabbed his grandmother.

Barstad was arrested in the early morning hours of December 20, 2018. The 23-year-old was killed at 12:30 p.m. that same day.

The Grand Jury decision ends the criminal investigation into the matter.
