Deputy Chris Dewey succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained 18 months earlier
after responding to reports of a drunk driver and shots fired in the city of
Mahnomen.
On February 18, 2009, Deputy Dewey responded to the call in the town of
Mahnomen. When he arrived, he encountered two suspects and a physical
confrontation ensued. He was shot in the head and abdomen by one of the men.
When back-up units arrived, they found Deputy Dewey and transported him to
the hospital.
A search for the suspect led to a nine-hour standoff at mobile home that was
near the scene of the incident. The suspect eventually surrendered to
police.
Deputy Dewey underwent a series of operations and required rehabilitative
care following the initial shooting. In July, he was moved into hospice care
where he died from his wounds on August 9, 2010.
Prior to Deputy Dewey's death, the suspect was charged with attempted murder
and 20 felony counts in connection with the incident.
Deputy Dewey had served with the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office for six
years. He is survived by his wife. |
