No charges against Jackson police officer involved in domestic dispute

JACKSON, MI – A prosecutor has decided not to issue any charges against a Jackson police sergeant who had a heated dispute with his wife, moving a relative to call 911.
There was “insufficient evidence” to charge Timothy Hibbard, a sergeant at the police department, the Branch County prosecutor informed Jackson County Prosecutor Jerry Jarzynka, who asked the state attorney general’s office to assign a special prosecutor to review the case.
Messages left late last week and early this week for Branch County Prosecutor Ralph Kimble were not returned.
When Jackson County Sheriff’s deputies came to Hibbard’s home Jan. 28, Hibbard and his wife, Marcy Hibbard, said they were having a verbal argument. Both said Timothy Hibbard did not push or hit Marcy Hibbard, but she reported she was “very afraid” of her husband, according to a sheriff’s office report. One son also said there was no physical contact. A younger son said Timothy Hibbard shoved his wife as he tried to get to a gun safe.
The younger son's aunt called 911 when the boy contacted her, saying his parents were involved in a domestic situation, according to the sheriff’s office report. He had heard "a bunch of yelling and screaming," and left the house, according to the report.
The couple had been fighting, both Marcy and Timothy Hibbard said. At one point, Hibbard “blew up,” threw his cell phone and broke it. This behavior frightened his wife and she told a deputy she went downstairs and locked herself in a bathroom.
Hibbard kept yelling at her to open the door. He wanted her cell phone, the report states.
He was “shaking” the door, trying to gain access, she said. Timothy Hibbard said he tried to kick in the door. She eventually opened it and he grabbed the phone, yelling and cussing at her, according to the police report.
Hibbard, who had been drinking whiskey and taking medication, started stumbling toward a gun cabinet, but his wife stood in the way. She stopped him when he tried to access it, she told a deputy. Hibbard said he never threatened to use the gun on his wife.
Hibbard and his wife’s dispute centered on an internal issue at the police department, his wife said, according to a sheriff’s report, which does not specify the issue. It involved Marcy Hibbard, who is a service desk employee at the police department, and a supervisor.
Matt Heins, Jackson director of police and fire services, declined to comment when asked about the supervisor’s involvement or position with the department.
He said Hibbard remained on paid administrative leave. Commanders were reviewing an internal investigation and were to make a recommendation to Heins about any needed administrative action, Heins said.
Hibbard was not arrested. He was placed in “protective custody” and taken to Allegiance Health for a mental health evaluation.
When told of this, Hibbard was "extremely confrontational," the report states. Deputies were able to talk Hibbard into going outside, where he willingly got into a patrol vehicle after a short conversation.

JACKSON, MI – A prosecutor outside Jackson County will review a possible assault case involving a Jackson police officer.
Jackson County Prosecutor Jerry Jarzynka said his office on Monday, Feb. 3, received a warrant request regarding Timothy Hibbard, a sergeant at the Jackson Police Department, and he has asked the state attorney general’s office to assign a special prosecutor to review the case.
There is an allegation of a physical assault, Jarzynka said, declining to release further details about the complaint.
When asked about the case, county Undersheriff Chris Kuhl said a deputy or deputies were called Jan. 28 to a home in the southern part of the county for a report of a domestic altercation or incident between a husband and wife. Kuhl declined to release many specifics and did not confirm the name of the man involved. The case is open and pending and the man was not arrested and has not been charged with any crime.
Kuhl was not aware of anyone being hurt. Only two people were there at the time, he said.
The man was placed in protective custody and taken to Allegiance Health for a mental health evaluation because of statements he made on scene, Kuhl said.
Matt Heins, Jackson director of police and fire services, said Hibbard is on paid administrative leave as the police department conducts an administrative review to see if there are any policy violations.
The results of the review will determine what, if any, disciplinary action would be required, Heins said.

This man is liability to the citizens he was sworn to protect. I have seen this mans PTSD's up close and personal. I will shed no tear for this individual. He needs to fired from the force. His time is over. The powers that be need to stand up and do the right the thing before he hurts someone else.
