Maine attorney general Steven Rowe has cleared two officers of the Passamaquoddy Tribe in the fatal shooting of an armed man.
Officer Alexander Nicholas II and game warden Scott Francis shot and killed Douglas P. Kelley Jr. on the
Indian Township Reservation on May 12. The officers were responding to a domestic violence call involving Kelley's ex-girlfriend.
In his
findings, Rowe said the officers were justified in using dealing force. Kelley's blood alcohol level was more than four times the legal limit.
Kelley lived of the reservation.
