The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office ruled on Oct. 4, 2018, that the use of deadly force by the police officers in Douglas Heath’s death was justified.
According to an Oct. 4 report (pdf) released by the Office of Attorney General, 38-year-old Douglas Heath was spotted on Aug. 20, driving an SUV similar to the one he drove two days earlier while fled a traffic stop in Rochester. When the police chased and tried to arrest him, he again sped away but stopped after crashing at the corner of an intersection.
