A former police officer in Georgia who shot and killed an unarmed, naked man has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, closing a case that’s dragged on for over a decade. Robert “Chip” Olsen, 63, admitted guilt in a courtroom Wednesday and will not spend any more time behind bars.

Following the plea, DeKalb County Superior Court Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson handed down a sentence of 15 years, though 12 years were commuted to time already served. The remainder will be served on probation, according to a statement from prosecutors. Olsen must also complete 100 hours of community service.

“No one would say that they are happy about any aspect of this case, it was a tragedy all the way around, but today’s resolution will bring closure,” said Olsen’s attorneys Amanda Clark Palmer and Don Samuel in a joint statement. “We are relieved that our client will not serve any additional time in custody.”

District Attorney Sherry Boston acknowledged the pain of the victim’s family. “It has been more than a decade since Anthony Hill’s life was cut tragically short,” Boston said. “Defendant Olsen’s guilty plea brings this long, arduous chapter to a close and through it he has finally accepted some responsibility for his actions.”

The fatal incident occurred in March 2015, when Olsen responded to reports of a naked man acting erratically at an apartment complex near Atlanta. The man was 26-year-old Anthony Hill, a Black Air Force veteran diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD. Olsen, then a DeKalb County police officer, claimed he shot Hill in self-defense.

By January 2016, Olsen was indicted on multiple charges including murder, aggravated assault, violation of oath, and making a false statement. A jury trial in 2019 convicted him of aggravated assault, two counts of violating his oath of office, and one count of false statement. He received a 12-year prison sentence followed by eight years of probation.

Olsen later appealed, and in 2023, the Georgia Court of Appeals overturned the aggravated assault conviction and one of the oath violations. The court criticized the trial judge’s decision to admit the DeKalb Police Department’s use of force policy as evidence, arguing parts of it conflicted with Georgia law and should have been redacted.

While the appeals court ruled that prosecutors could retry Olsen for aggravated assault, they barred any further legal action on the oath violation. With this week’s plea, the legal saga—marked by controversy, protest, and questions of accountability—finally comes to a close.
