Deputy Attorney General Greer E. Staley said in a letter dated Friday that an expert report had found the Farmington police officers' use of deadly force was 'lawful' in light of the threat they faced from Robert Dotson, 52, and then his wife, who were both armed.
According to a police statement issued the day after the shooting, when there was no answer to their knock on the door after they identified themselves as police officers, the officers asked the dispatcher to call the party that made the initial report to ask them to come to the front door. They then discussed whether they were at the right address.
