Crawfordsville police shoot at actor portraying bank robber
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Indiana State Police say they're investigating a shot fired by local police in western Indiana at a movie actor portraying a bank robber.
They say the Crawfordsville Police Department responded to a report of a possible robbery occurring at the Backstep Brewing Co. Tuesday evening and found actor Jim Duff, wearing a ski mask, carrying a gun and leaving the brewery with his back to the officers. Police told him to drop the gun, but he turned toward them and an office fired a shot that missed Duff.
Police say Duff dropped the gun, pulled off his mask and told officers they were on a movie set.
No one was hurt.
Police say the production company and the brewery didn't notify them or other businesses in advance of the filming.
