Officer Involved Shooting Suspect Jailed

SMITH COUNTY — A Lindale man who was hospitalized following an officer-involved shooting is now in jail. According to KETK, Jeremy Randal Wood, 26, was booked into the Smith County Jail on Monday after being released from the hospital. On Friday, September 30, Lindale police responded to a 911 call from Jackie’s Office Club on South Main Street on reports of a “man with a gun.” When officers arrived on scene scene, police say they spotted a white male with a gun. He was later identified as Wood. Officers gave Wood several commands to drop the gun, but he refused and allegedly pointed the weapon at police. One officer fired a shot and hit Wood in the chest. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The owner of Jackie’s Office Club said Wood was inside the club for a very short time before he was asked to leave. Wood is being held on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His bond was set at $1,000,000.
