More than six months passed while law enforcement conducted their investigation and Coel has now been charged, finally.

In a landmark move, Punta Gordo Police Chief Tom Lewis, who adamantly defended his deadly negligent officer, was also charged. Coel has been charged with manslaughter, a first-degree felony, and Lewis charged with culpable negligence, a second-degree misdemeanor, according to State Attorney Steve Russell.

According to WINK News, Coel turned himself in and was arrested. He's posted $5,000 bond and was released from the Charlotte County Jail at around 3 p.m.

Lewis will not be arrested but was given a summons to appear in court April 5. He said after the shooting that he had no intention of resigning but vowed to make changes to department procedures.
