The Texas Rangers have arrested a Wolfe City police officer on a charge of murder after the officer fatally shot a man Saturday, authorities said.
The officer, 22-year-old Shaun Lucas, was booked Monday into the Hunt County Jail. Jail records show his bail was set at $1 million.
A statement from the Texas Rangers, sent in an email by Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Lonny Haschel, said Lucas fatally shot 31-year-old Jonathan Price while responding to a disturbance call about 8:30 p.m. Saturday in the 100 block of Santa Fe Street in Wolfe City, about 70 miles northeast of Dallas.
At some point, Lucas tried to detain Price, according to the Texas Rangers. Price “resisted in a non-threatening posture and began walking away.” Then, Lucas deployed his Taser and shot Price with his service weapon, authorities said.
