Investigation Underway After Officer-Involved Shooting in Mount Pleasant

At the request of the 22nd Judicial District Attorney General Brent Cooper, TBI agents are investigating the circumstances leading to an officer-involved shooting that occurred Sunday evening in Maury County.

Preliminary information indicates that a deputy with the Maury County Sheriff’s Office responded to an address in the 900 block of Southport Road in Mount Pleasant on an attempt to locate a man who was the subject of a BOLO (Be On The Lookout) out of Lawrence County. Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with the man, identified as 22 year old Jeremiah Dobbins. During the encounter, Dobbins reportedly produced a weapon, resulting in the deputy firing shots, striking him. Dobbins was transported to an area hospital, where he later died.

TBI agents are working to independently determine the series of events leading to the shooting, including collecting evidence and conducting interviews. Throughout the process, investigative findings will be shared with the District Attorney General for his further review and consideration. The TBI acts solely as fact-finders in its cases and does not determine whether the actions of an officer were justified in these types of matters. That decision rests with the District Attorney General requesting TBI’s involvement. 

The TBI does not identify the officers involved in these types of incidents and instead refers questions of that nature to the respective department to answer as it sees fit.
