A Spotsylvania deputy was indicted on a felony charge Thursday in connection with the shooting of county resident Isiah Brown earlier this year.

David Turbyfill was charged by a special grand jury with felony reckless handling of a firearm, special prosecutor LaBravia Jenkins said. Reckless handling of a firearm is usually a misdemeanor, but Jenkins said it is a felony in this case largely because of the significant injuries suffered by 32-year-old Brown.

Turbyfill could be heard screaming at Brown to drop the gun and stop walking toward him before firing multiple shots. Brown’s attorney, David E. Haynes, said Brown was shot 10 times and that eight bullets were found in his body.

Brown was critically injured and was in the hospital until May 25. He is continuing his recovery at home.
