WOLCOTT, Ind. (WISH) No charges will be filed against a White County sheriff’s deputy in a June shootout that left a Wolcott man dead.

The shooting happened as police from multiple agencies served an arrest warrant for Perry Boyd, 56, about 9:20 p.m. on June 15 in the 400 block of West Anderson Street in Wolcott, state police said.
