Aaron Skolfield defended his actions in an interview Monday and said Robert Card's Army superiors misled him about the threat he posed.

176 days, 25 officers: Police were repeatedly warned about Robert Card's erratic behavior, his weapons, and his threats. This is an account of those warnings.
The change comes during a period of turnover for the Hancock County agency, in which several other officers have either left for different jobs or been promoted to new roles.
