"How do you put into words the feelings and emotions that we're all experiencing here today?" "Noah proudly wore the Elwood Police Department uniform, serving the citizens of Elwood, he was part of our city family. ...On behalf of myself, my family, and a most grateful city, I'm asking you to keep Noah's family, Noah's friends, the Elwood Police Department, and our city in your thoughts and prayers as we attempt to navigate through this tragic time.... Andrew Hannah, Chief Deputy Prosecutor in Madison County, said his office will file murder, possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, resisting law enforcement, and the use of a firearm enhancement charges against Boards on Monday. The firearm enhancement charge carries additional sentencing penalties. Another penalty, known as the habitual offender enhancement, will be applied to the case given Boards' criminal history. According to state records, Boards was previously charged with battery by means of a deadly weapon, among others. Additional charges he has faced over the years include drug offenses, battery with a deadly weapon, resisting law enforcement, and possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, reports WTHR. Hannah will make a determination on whether or not to charge Boards with the death penalty after "reviewing all of the evidence and discussions with the family and all those involved," he said. "Telling Noah's story is going to be really important not just for the community but for the Elwood PD and for all of our chosen professions, State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said. ...This young man served this country for five years and chose to come back and serve a local community and these senseless acts of violence perpetuate our society and none of us understand why, but I'm confident here in Madison that the right things will occur."
