LADUE, Mo. — A suburban St. Louis police officer indicted for shooting a shoplifting suspect has resigned from her department.
Ladue Police Officer Julia Crews submitted a letter of resignation on Friday, two days after St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell announced that Crews was indicted on a charge of second-degree assault.
Her attorney has said Crews meant to use her stun gun but mistakenly grabbed her service revolver.
