No Charges Against Grant County Deputy In Shooting Death

No criminal charges will be filed against a Grant County sheriff’s deputy who shot and killed a man following an incident that involved a foreclosure. It happened September first. Officials say Roger Helgerson, Junior began a chase with officers that ended when he got out of his vehicle, pointed a long gun at two officers — and then deputy Andrew Smith shot Helgerson. Grant County District Attorney Lisa Riniker reviewed the incident to consider possible charges, but she said Smith was entitled to use deadly force once Helgerson pointed his gun toward him and the other officer on the scene.
