RENSSELAER, Ind. — The man shot dead Sunday by Jasper County police while allegedly resisting arrest has been identified as 42-year-old Hobart, Indiana, resident Matthew W. Huttle, who was among those presumably pardoned last week by President Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol building.

Details are few as the shooting investigation continues, but state police said a deputy with the Jasper County Sheriff's Department stopped a vehicle around 4:15 p.m. Sunday on Ind. 14, east of County Road 475 East.

"During the traffic stop, the officer attempted to arrest the suspect when the suspect resisted," according to state police. "An altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect."

It appears the stop was routine and the result of an alleged traffic violation, according to police.

"The investigation also shows that during the traffic stop, the suspect was in possession of a firearm," police said.
