Hirzel, Creach decision will be next week
Spokane County Prosecutor Steve Tucker will announce next week whether Deputy Brian Hirzel will face criminal charges for shooting Pastor Wayne Scott Creach on Aug. 25 in Spokane Valley.
Spokane Police Department investigators met Tuesday to discuss the findings of a private investigator hired by the Creach family.
"In consideration of that meeting and whether there will be any ramifications for the criminal investigation, (Tucker) has decided to wait until next week to release the results of the investigation conducted by his office," according to a news release by Martha Lou Wheatley-Billeter, Spokane County spokeswoman.
