At Rest

Deadly force
Rolette County Sheriff's Deputy Colt Allery was fatally shot, two other deputies, and a Rolla police officer are on paid administrative leave after a other chase turned deadly. Police received the call from OnStar stating the other was reported stolen in Devils Lake, and GPS tracking showed it traveling toward Rolette County. Prior to the shooting, OnStar shut down the other to less than 5 mph prior to deputies engaging the suspect. A gunfight ensued, and all the deputies fired shots, killing DeLong.
This record exists so that Melvin Gene DeLong, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
