An Oswego County grand jury has cleared a State Trooper who shot to death a man at a traffic stop in Mexico in August.
The grand jury found Trooper Paul Darmody-Latham’s actions were justified.
He shot to death Joshua Davies during a traffic stop August 21 along Route 69 in Mexico.
A news release from the District Attorney’s office said that the grand jury met on September 3 and 17 to hear evidence.
Police alleged that Davies came at the Trooper with a knife, that Darmody-Latham ordered Davies three times to stop, and shot Davies because he did not stop.
Davies had posted many videos on YouTube criticizing police and maintaining that he was going to follow them[1].
