A Missouri state water patrol officer will not face charges in the May 31 death of a handcuffed Iowa man who drowned after toppling off the officer鈥檚 boat at the Lake of the Ozarks, a special prosecutor said Monday.Osage County Prosecutor Amanda Grellner, who was appointed to review the case, said she will not file charges against Trooper Anthony C. Piercy, 43, in the death of Brandon Ellingson, 20, of Clive, Iowa.鈥淚 don鈥檛 believe it rises to the level of a criminal offense,鈥?Grellner said. She said she believes an inquest held last week in Versailles, Mo., was 鈥渇air and impartial鈥?and that the coroner 鈥渢ried to put together a picture as best he could with the information that was provided.鈥漈he Ellingson family鈥檚 lawyer, Matt <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php>Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes</a>  Boles, said he found Grellner鈥檚 decision 鈥渄isheartening.鈥?Ellingson鈥檚 father, Craig Ellingson, 53, has said he plans to file a civil suit in his son鈥檚 death.A jury of six Morgan County residents summoned at Thursday鈥檚 inquest ruled Ellingson鈥檚 drowning an accident. Ellingson was handcuffed behind his back when he toppled over Piercy鈥檚 patrol boat at the Lake of the Ozarks. The life jacket Piercy put on Ellingson after handcuffing him slipped away. Piercy testified that he jumped in the water to try to rescue Ellingson but lost his grip on him.Piercy, an 18-year veteran of the Highway Patrol, also testified that he did not think he was adequately trained in making an arrest on the water, putting on life vests or rescuing people. He volunteered in 2012 to move to the water patrol division.He said he cuffed Ellingson, then buckled the life vest around him. But several of Ellingson鈥檚 friends told investigators in June that Piercy struggled to fit an already-buckled life vest over Ellingson鈥檚 muscular frame without putting Ellingson鈥檚 arms through the vest鈥檚 arm holes.Missouri Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. Ronald Replogle said in a statement Monday that all records in the case would be available under the state鈥檚 open records law. However, the patrol鈥檚 custodian of records, Lt. Keverne McCollum, said the records were not immediately available because investigators had not given them to her yet.Replogle also said that the patrol 鈥渨ill continue the review of all procedures related to this incident.鈥漃iercy testified that he stopped the Ellingson family鈥檚 28-foot-long Sea Ray, <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php>Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale</a>  the 鈥淪otally Tober,鈥?near a beachfront bar on the Gravois Arm of the lake after he spotted a Bud Light can being dropped or tossed from the boat. He took Ellingson, who was driving the boat, onto his own patrol vessel and performed tests for intoxication.Piercy arrested Ellingson on suspicion of drunken boating. Ellingson鈥檚 autopsy showed he had traces of cocaine in his system and a blood-alcohol content of 0.268 percent, more than three times the legal limit to drive a boat.After the inquest, a Missouri couple who witnessed part of the incident told the Post-Dispatch that they jury should have heard their accounts.Larry Moreau, 41, of Hartsburg, Mo., said that he, his wife and their 14-year-old son were cruising in their boat at more than 30 mph when they saw Piercy鈥檚 patrol boat pass them. Minutes later, they saw Ellingson treading water near Piercy鈥檚 idling patrol boat and apparently talking to Piercy. Moreau said the life jacket was about 5 to 6 feet away from Ellingson. He said they told investigators that they left because Piercy didn鈥檛 appear to be acting with urgency, so they thought the matter was under control.He and his wife talked to investigators but weren鈥檛 asked to testify at the inquest.鈥淎fter I read what came out of the inquest, I was a little concerned that what we had witnessed didn鈥檛 seem to get included,鈥?Moreau said.A water taxi captain who stayed at the scene and tried to help testified at the inquest. He and a passenger on his boat said they thought Piercy did all he could to save Ellingson.In response to the criticisms from the couple, Grellner <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Shoes</a>  said, 鈥淚 gave far more weight to those who were actually there and stayed and those who had a far more firsthand account than those who left.鈥滱lso Monday, Grellner, in response to a records request from the Post-Dispatch, released the names of the six Morgan County residents who served on the jury. They are Julie Brown, Cecil Banner, Megan Rowland, Brad Bauer, Herbert Keck and Amy Todd.
