HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (AP) - Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall says a sheriff's deputy was justified in using deadly force when he fatally shot a man suspected in a series of crimes in August.
Orange County deputy Joshua Scott Wiseman shot 32-year-old Christopher Dean Trivett on Aug. 2. Trivett had been wanted on charges of attempted first-degree murder and burglary, among others.
Woodall decided not to file charges after reviewing the State Bureau of Investigation report.
Police say Wiseman had responded to a 911 call from someone who recognized Trivett from media reports.
Woodall reported Tuesday that the deputy caught up with Trivett after a chase and ordered him to put his hands up. Woodall says Trivett instead reached into a backpack. The 23-year-old Wiseman then shot Trivett, fearing he was reaching for a gun.
