20 June 2020 – A Lewis County grand jury released the shooter of 37 year old repo man, Brian Biggs Friday after failing to return an indictment in the case of the killing of the repo man and wounding four others allegedly trying to repossess a vehicle on May 13.
Michael Justice, 47, of Garrison, was released from the Lewis County Detention Center after the grand jury decision.
The grand jury returned a no true bill. This is typically indictive that there was not enough evidence to justify the charges,
Social media post by a cousin alleged that Brian Biggs was shot five times and that there was an exchange of gunfire from both the repossessing party as well as the borrower or third party involved parties.
A FB post by the deceased, Biggs, showed him claiming to have already been shot by Justice days earlier and Biggs was claiming on this post that he intended to return with a gun.
According to Kentucky State Police, on May 13 around 12:28 a.m., Thompson Biggs-Cox, Aaron Cottrell, Bonnie Dalton, Kari Biggs and Bryan Biggs, all of West Portsmouth, Ohio, arrived at Justice’s home on Kinney Road to repossess a 2004 Chevy Silverado.
An altercation broke out between the group, resulting in all five individuals allegedly being shot by Justice, police said.
Brian Biggs, 37, was pronounced death at the scene by Lewis County Coroner Tony Gaydos. Kari Biggs received a gunshot wound, but refused treatment at the scene.
Cottrell, Biggs-Cox and Dalton were transported to the hospital.
Justice was arrested and charged with murder and four counts of first-degree assault.
On May 18, Justice appeared before District Court Judge Brian C. McCloud and entered a not guilty to the charges.
Justice had been held in the Lewis County Detention Center without bond. He was released from the facility Friday morning.
