Bowman, 49, was shot and taken into custody by Indiana State Police after the standoff at his home in October of 2016. Officers had responded to the home after family members said Bowman pulled a gun on them. Bowman took his case to trial in Ripley Circuit Court. After the seven-day trial, a jury took nine hours to deliberate last Wednesday before returning guilty verdicts on charges of Attempted Murder and Pointing a Firearm. Bowman will be sentenced by Judge Ryan King on April 20. RELATED STORIES: Holton Man Faces Attempted Murder Charge After Standoff With Police Police Return Fire On Suspect In Ripley Co. Standoff
