ELKINS — No disciplinary action will be taken following the Elkins Police Department’s internal review of use of force in an arrest made following the shooting of an EPD officer in March, the department announced Monday.

“After examining all available information, the actions of the officers involved have been found to be reasonable given the circumstances,” EPD Chief Travis Bennett said in a department press release Monday. “It is my conclusion that no disciplinary actions are warranted.”

“Video footage, witness and officer statements, 911 call logs, and other evidence was analyzed as part of the internal review, which is standard procedure after any use of force by an EPD officer,” the release states.

Senior Patrolman Daniel Sayre, 25, was shot at about 7:30 p.m. March 26 and was transported by helicopter to Morgantown. He returned to Elkins the next day after being treated for gunshot wounds to the calf and the shoulder.

“Although Sayre’s injuries were not life-threatening, he will require additional surgery and physical therapy that will prevent him from returning to active duty for about four months,” the Monday press release stated.

Jerry Lee Isner II, of Second Street, Elkins, was apprehended at the scene and charged with attempted first degree murder and malicious assault on a police officer. Bond was set at $250,000 cash by Randolph County Magistrate Ben Shepler.

A video that appears to show an officer striking the suspect after the shooting has circulated on social media since March 26.

According to the criminal complaint, Sayre, Corp. C. Boatwright and Patrolman D. George encountered Isner carrying a rifle in the alley between Henry Avenue and John Street, behind the Jennings Randolph Federal Building.

Boatwright told Isner to “drop the firearm and get on the ground,” the complaint states. Isner reportedly kept walking and told the officers “Just leave me alone.”

Sayre and Boatwright then walked after Isner and Boatwright applied a taser to Isner’s back, according to the complaint. Isner then reportedly fell to his stomach on top of the rifle.

Isner cursed the officers and then rolled over, said, “F- you guys” and fired three rounds, two of which struck Sayre in the left calf and right bicep/shoulder, the complaint states.

“Officers were unable to return fire due to the proximity of bystanders,” Bennett said in a press release March 27.

The video, which has been shared hundreds of times on Facebook, appears to show Isner lying in the street handcuffed. An officer who appears to be Boatwright then kneels down over the suspect.

The officer says, “You shot my f—g partner, you son of a b—,” and then appears to strike the suspect, the video shows.

The officer then appears to pull the suspect to his feet by the handcuffs, and then orders him to walk down the alley. Sirens of approaching emergency vehicles can be heard throughout the video.

Boatwright served on active duty as the internal review was being performed, city officials told The Inter-Mountain on March 30.

Gov. Jim Justice spoke about Sayre’s shooting at the beginning of his press briefing on March 27.

After the March 26 shooting, two Elkins residents were arrested by the West Virginia State Police for allegedly obstructing the investigation into the shooting of an Elkins Police Department officer.

Matraca Dawn Watson, 20, and Jeremy Andrew Watson, 25, both of Henry Avenue, were each charged with misdemeanor counts of providing false information and obstructing an officer. Bond was set at $500 each.

Matraca Watson allegedly admitted her cellphone contained a video of the incident but said she had been afraid to tell police about it.
