LINCOLN COUNTY, TN (WAFF) -
The
man accused of shooting two law enforcement officers was in court Friday in
Lincoln County, Tennessee.
Joseph Shriver is accused of
shooting Fayetteville Officer Justin Raby and Madison County Deputy Brent
Beavers in November of 2011.
Both men survived and have been
back on duty.
On
Friday, a judge found probable cause in Shriver's preliminary hearing.
Officer Justin Raby testified
that Shriver shot him near the Kirkland Baptist Church in Fayetteville after
making a traffic stop. Raby suffered from shrapnel wounds to the shoulder.
Officers
testified that they later found 11 shell casings and determined a 7.62 rifle was
used.
Shriver's vehicle was found in
the middle of a bean field a few miles away. Madison County swat team
surrounded the vehicle and brought Shriver out. He was covered in mud.
Shriver
is an Iraq War veteran. His family said he may have been experiencing post
traumatic stress disorder at the time of the shooting.
Shriver is currently being held
at the Riverbend maximum security prison in Nashville.
The case now goes to a grand
jury on April 16, at the Lincoln County Circuit Court.
