As News Center 7 previously reported, Clark County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Ballentine Pike on reports of gunfire near a garage sale in August.
A deputy and a German Township Police Officer were shot at by the caller’s neighbor, later identified as Jeffers, after they found multiple bullet strikes on a barn belonging to the caller.
The neighbor was having a garage sale at the time of the incident.
Jeffers will be sentenced on April 23.
On Aug. 4, 2023, Clark County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to Ballentine Pike on reports of gunfire near a crowded garage sale. After discovering multiple bullet strikes on a barn belonging to the homeowner, a Clark County Sheriff's Deputy and a German Township Officer came under concentrated fire from a neighboring homeowner. Today, Danny Jeffers was convicted of 3 counts of Felonious Assault for his role in firing upon the law enforcement officers and his neighbor. I want to thank Clark County Assistant Prosecutors Aaron Heskett and Christian Sorg for all their work, as well as German Township Police Chief Mike Stitzel and all the Clark County Sheriff's deputies who responded to this scene, especially Deputy Peterson. Jeffers will be sentenced on April 23.
