WALKER, Mich. — The Kent County Prosecutor’s Office has determined a police officer’s decision to shoot a robbery suspect in Walker last month was justified.
The news comes as the Kent County Sheriff’s Office announces its completion of an investigation into the Sept. 9 incident, which reportedly occurred during a police chase that ended with a crashed U-Haul in Georgetown Township.
The suspect, Robert Gallup, was approached by officers with the Walker Police Department when Gallup took off and aimed a gun at authorities, the sheriff’s office explains.
The Walker Police Department released body cam video to FOX 17 Thursday showing what led up to the shooting.
WATCH:
Deputies say Gallup has since been charged with assault; felony firearm; felon in possession of a firearm; fleeing and eluding; resisting and obstructing; and carrying a concealed weapon. Other charges may be pending.
We’re told Gallup, who is currently being held at the Kent County Jail, was placed on a $500,000 bond.
