Official: Deadly use of force justified in Dec. officer involved shooting

The State's Attorney investigating the December police-involved shooting in Danbury has issued a report.  Richard Colangelo of the Stamford/Norwalk District determined that Officer Alex Relyea was justified in his use of deadly force upon Paul Arbitelle.  He says Relyea believed the use of deadly force was necessary to defend himself from the imminent use of deadly physical force by Arbitelle.  The investigation determined that Relyea acted in conformance with the Danbury Police Department Procedures and Policies and Connecticut law Colangelo concluded that the use of such force was both reasonable and justified under the circumstances. The Division of Criminal Justice will take no further action with respect to the use of force in this case.
