Prosecutors have filed a voluntary manslaughter charge against an Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner after she showed up at a house by mistake.

LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner who mistakenly arrived at his front door was charged with voluntary manslaughter on Monday in a case that could test the limits of stand-your-ground laws.

Curt Anderson, 62, could face anywhere from 10 to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if he’s convicted. He was being held in the Boone County Jail pending an initial court hearing.

    I had to look up Lebanon, Indiana. Is it a dangerous shithole with a population of 16,000 people

    I grew up there, and the answer is no. It’s just another conservative exurb of Indianapolis. Also, this happened in Whitestown which is substantially smaller than Lebanon, the county seat.
