FLINT, MI - Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton has ruled that a homeowner who shot and killed a man earlier this month outside his home was acting in self-defense.

Police responded at 1:14 a.m. on Nov. 30 to reports of a person who was shot at a residence in the 1900 block of Joliet Street.

Leyton said Ollie Lee Drummer, 59, was allegedly armed with a knife and breaking into a vehicle parked outside the residence.

"The homeowner told police that he was coming at him with the knife in his hands at the time the homeowner shot him," Leyton said.

Drummer was taken to Hurley Medical Center where he later died.

Leyton said the homeowner was acting in self-defense when he shot Drummer and there will be no criminal charges.
