Former Chief Oly Ivy Indicted for Tasering Wife


The police chief, who was the lone officer in this small Central Texas town and had been removed by city officials for allegedly Tasering his wife in April, now faces a felony indictment for the incident.

A Leon County Grand Jury indicted Oly Ivy, 30, on Thursday for Aggravated Assault/Family Violence which is a second degree felony.

In April, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office arrested Chief Ivy for domestic violence.

Deputies said Ivy allegedly Tasered his wife multiple times using his city-issued weapon.

When the mayor and City Council found out about it, they met in emergency session and voted unanimously to fire the chief — essentially the city's entire paid police force.
