Maine AG ruled South Portland officer justified in shooting armed suspect.

Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey ruled that a South Portland police officer was justified in shooting an armed suspect, Christafer Dodge, during an armed confrontation at a South Portland apartment complex in August 2023. Dodge, 47, had fled the scene of a domestic violence call, returned with an AR-style rifle, and pointed it at officers while still in his pickup truck, prompting Officer Anthony Verville to shoot and kill him.
