A special grand jury in Ohio, convened on Thursday, charged Joel Jenkins, a recently-fired Pike County sheriff’s deputy, with murder and involuntary manslaughter in two separate incidents, the Chillicothe Gazette reports.

On March 28th, Jenkins allegedly shot Robert Rooker, 26, who fled at high speed after he was caught speeding, The Guardian reports. Jenkins is charged with murder, a first-degree felony, and reckless homicide, a third-degree felony, in connection with Rooker’s death.

According to the Gazette, Jenkins was put on leave after Rooker’s shooting, reinstated, and then put on leave again. On December 3rd, Pike County Sheriff Charlie Reader said, Jenkins, who was drunk, accidentally fired a gun (not his department-issued weapon), injuring his friend Jason Brady, 40. Brady later died at the scene.

Jenkins was charged with involuntary manslaughter, a third-degree felony, in connection with Brady’s death. (A gun specification was added to that charge.) He was fired on Monday after reporting the incident.

A special prosecutor from the Attorney General’s Office is handling the case, NBC4 reports, and, according to The Guardian, a warrant has been issued for the former deputy’s arrest.
