Douglas Kilburn

Less-than-lethal force

Officer Cory Campbell initiated physical contact with Kilburn by grabbing Douglas Kilburn's arm as he stepped out of his SUV, in an attempt to handcuff him, in the University of Vermont Medical Center ambulance bay. Kilburn, who was disabled from a stroke, then allegedly punched the officer in the jaw using his free arm. Campbell reportedly punched Kilburn's right eye three times, sending him to the ground. Kilburn suffered fractures to his jaw, orbital bone and skull and died three days later.
