GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—No charges will be filed in the death of a 42-year-old Mesa County woman who was shot nine times in the driveway of a neighbor who says he fired his gun in self-defense.
Nevertheless, Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said Thursday he does not condone what happened to Crystal Nash.
Hautzinger says his investigation showed Nash was armed with a handgun and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.184 percent when she confronted her neighbor Tom Jarvis at his home early Nov. 1. Witnesses say she was upset that he may have called police earlier about a party at her home.
Hautzinger says Nash raised her gun, prompting Jarvis to fire nine shots from his .22 caliber pistol.
