FREDERICTON—An American who has spent nearly 35 years in prison for the murder of a New Brunswick police officer was denied full parole on Wednesday.
Anthony Romeo, 58, is serving a life sentence in a New Brunswick prison for the shooting of highway patrol Const. Emmanuel Aucoin during a traffic stop in March 1987, southwest of Fredericton. Romeo became eligible for full parole in 2012, but the Parole Board of Canada said at the time he posed a risk to the public.
