Courthouse 101 East Main Street P. 0. Box 785 Urbana, Illinois 61801 Phone (217) 384-3733 Fax (217) 384?3816 email: Julia R. Rietz State's Attorney Office of State?s Attorney Champaign County, Illinois August 16, 2017 Chief Anthony Cobb Champaign Police Department Re: ISP HobsonfBanks Dear Chief Cobb, I have completed my review of the Multi-Jurisdictional Investigative Team investigation of the June 11, 2017, officer-involved shooting in the 300 block of N. Fourth Street, Champaign. I have reviewed the reports provided by the Illinois State Police investigators, including the written report of Of?cer James Hobson and the report of ISP investigators? interview with Dehari Banks, and the squad car video/audio of the incident. Based on that review, I have determined that there is no basis for criminal charges with regard to Officer Hobson?s actions. Of?cer Hobson?s display of his firearm was appr0priate given the totality of the circumstances and the evidence supports the conclusion that the firearm was discharged accidentally. I would consider this matter closed and am con?dent that you will address any further issues internally through training and supervision. Sincere Ln Julia Rietz Champaign County State?s Attorney
