LIMA, Ohio (AP) - An outside review has concluded that a Lima
police officer didn't violate any department rules in the fatal
shooting of unarmed woman during a drug raid.

The findings are in a report issued by the Montgomery County
sheriff's office.

The office looked into Sgt. Joseph Chavalia's role in the
shooting death of Tarika Wilson in January.

A jury cleared Chavalia of any wrongdoing in the shooting after
the officer testified that he had thought his life was in danger
when he shot Wilson during a drug raid.

Wilson's family has since filed a lawsuit against the officer
and the city of Lima.
