ALBION, Maine (AP) – Maine’s attorney general has ruled that a state trooper was justified in using deadly force when he shot and killed a 34-year-old Albion man outside his home in August.
Johnathan Sullivan was fatally shot by Derrick Record after the trooper responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance at Sullivan’s home.
According to Attorney General Steven Rowe, the shooting occurred after Sullivan came at Record with a shotgun and ignored repeated commands to drop his weapon. When Sullivan raised the barrel of his gun, Record fired three rounds.
Sullivan had a blood alcohol content of 0.24 percent at the time of the shooting.
