MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota state trooper accused in the fatal shooting of motorist Ricky Cobb II can remain free without bail while awaiting trial, a judge ruled Monday during a brief court hearing.
Trooper Ryan Londregan must surrender his passport and avoid contact with witnesses and Cobb's relatives, the judge ruled.
Seide told Cobb he was under arrest while Londregan reached inside, unlocked the doors and began opening the passenger door.
The complaint said Cobb’s car began to slowly move forward.
Seide and Trooper Garrett Erickson said they believed lethal force was necessary, according to a court document filed by the defense.
