According to the complaint, the officer indicated Richard Guy Wasson did not submit his identification when requested. He then fought with the officer, who was trying to arrest him. Wasson struck the cop and then pulled a gun. The officer pulled his and shot twice. He missed Wasson both times, but was finally able to take him into custody.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Wasson faces charges of assaulting a police officer, federal charges because the incident took place on tribal land.<\/p>\n
On Friday, a federal judge in Arizona ordered Wasson, 50, to remain in custody pending trial.<\/p>\n
A man died Friday afternoon after he was shot on a Minnesota interstate highway by sheriff\u2019s deputies responding to a domestic dispute call at a tribal casino.<\/p>\n
According to a news release from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the Pine County Sheriff\u2019s Office responded to a 911 call from the Grand Casino Hinckley. As officers drove to the scene, they saw the suspect\u2019s vehicle and engaged in a pursuit.<\/p>\n
During the pursuit, the suspect began driving southbound in the northbound lanes of Interstate 35. The BCA said an \u201cencounter\u201d soon followed, which resulted in a deputy shooting and striking the suspect. The suspect\u2019s vehicle then flipped, struck another vehicle, and then came to a rest in the highway median.<\/p>\n
Deputies provided immediate medical assistance, but EMTs pronounced the suspect deceased at the scene,\u201d the BCA said in its release.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The release did not provide the name or age of the suspect.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened near mile marker 180 on the interstate. That’s roughly four miles away from the casino, which itself is roughly halfway between the Twin Cities and Duluth. No officers suffered injuries, nor did the driver of the vehicle struck by the suspect. The BCA said the individual of the alleged domestic dispute also did not report any injuries.<\/p>\n
The BCA was still investigating the case, according to a release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
