The Sangamon County State’s Attorney has proposed no criminal record against a Chatham who was shot by Chatham Police on March 5th, according to WAND-TV.
Gregory Smalls was shot by Chatham police officer Adam Hahn on the 1500 block of East Walnut Street while Smalls, 30, was cutting himself while holding a knife. Chatham Police said Smalls was not following orders to drop the knife when Hahn shot Smalls four times.
The Sangamon County State’s Attorney Dan Wright determined Hahn was justified, and Smalls was charged with aggravated assault; however, on May 12, 2021, Wright said he proposed a resolution to prevent the charges from showing up on Smalls criminal record.
