WABE has confirmed that the DeKalb County police officer who killed an unarmed veteran last year will face criminal charges.

Officer Robert Olsen shot and killed Anthony Hill last March.

Olsen was responding to a call that Hill was wandering naked in the parking lot of the apartment complex where he lived.

Hill’s family says he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and was bipolar.

Last month, a DeKalb County civil grand jury recommended further investigation into the case.

DeKalb District Attorney Robert James has called a news conference for Thursday morning to discuss the developments.
