VC Sheriff Office And GPD Respond To Incident In St Marie

At 7:20 p.m., on Oct. 6, Valley County Dispatch received a 911 call stating multiple gun shots were being reported in the town of St. Marie.

Officers responded from Valley County Sheriff’s Office and Glasgow Police Department. Both officers made contact with a male suspect.

The suspect was given multiple commands and did not comply. The suspect then aggressively approached the law enforcement officers yelling, “Just shoot me.”

The Valley County Deputy transitioned to a conducted energy device and deployed one five-second neuromuscular stimulus to the male. The suspect followed orders to roll over on his stomach and was then handcuffed.

A few minutes later the suspect experienced a seizure to which the officers provided first aid as they waited for an ambulance to respond. The male was transported to Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital for further care.

The investigation into this matter is still ongoing and names will be withheld pending the outcome of the investigation.
