Man shot by police in downtown Bristol indicted by grand jury

A North Carolina man shot by Bristol, Tennessee police officers last month has been indicted by a Sullivan County grand jury.

A TBI report said Isaac John Carrion, 44, was armed with a baseball bat and tire iron when he charged at officers in Downtown Bristol after an alarm went off at the US Post Office on 6th Street.

Tasers were deployed leading up to the officers firing their weapons at Carrion. He is charged with three counts of aggravated assault and one count of disorderly conduct and vandalism. Carrion was served with his warrants at the county jail after his initial arrest for burglary, also last month according to court records.
