An update now on a story we brought you back in August.

The Mishawaka Police Department "shooting board" has determined that the police officer who shot and killed a would-be thief in August, was acting within his bounds as an officer.

Detective Jeremy Tyler killed Eugene Nusbaum August 24th when Nusbaum tried to steal a catalytic converter from a car.

The Mishawaka detective tried to stop Nusbaum as he drove away.

Tyler got caught in the suspect's truck and was dragged down Lincolnway East in Osceola.

He fired his gun and broke free before the truck crashed into a tree.

Tyler has been on administrative leave ever since.
