Man charged after being shot by police

A man who was shot and wounded by police, after they said he pointed a sawed-off shotgun at them, was indicted Tuesday on charges of assault and illegally carrying a weapon.

A Hamilton County grand jury indicted Jabari Dailey, 32, of Mount Auburn on two charges of felonious assault, carrying a concealed weapon and having a weapon under disability. He remains jailed pending a court hearing on the charges.

On Feb. 6, a uniformed officer stopped Dailey's car on Beekman Street in North Fairmount after police got a tip that he had drugs and was armed.

Authorities said Dailey ran and, at one point, aimed the gun at officers chasing him.

Officers Colleen Deegan and Chris Vogelpohl fired at Dailey. He was hit once in the shoulder.
