Former Rocky Mountain Academy director Scott
Addison, 49, was shot and killed Wednesday
afternoon in Cheyenne, Wyoming, after a brief
standoff with police. Addison had been charged
March 1 in Laramie, Wyoming, where he was
living, with 25 felony counts after multiple
women accused him of sexual assault and
attempted blackmail.
According to a Cheyenne Police Department
release, at about 2 p.m. December 6, deputies
with the Laramie County Sheriff's Office
recognized a truck being driven on the 4700
block of Ridge Road as belonging to Addison, who
was wanted on a felony arrest warrant out of
Albany County on sexual assault and probation
violation charges.
The suspect refused commands given by the
deputies and was observed to have a rifle.
The Cheyenne Police Department responded to
assist and for approximately an hour, the
suspect refused commands to comply with law
enforcement on scene. Shortly before 3 p.m.,
Addison exited the vehicle with a rifle, fired
and three officers from the Cheyenne Police
Department and a Laramie County Sheriff's Deputy
returned fire.
Addison was declared deceased at Cheyenne
Regional Medical Center. No law enforcement
officers were injured. The Wyoming Department of
Criminal Investigation investigates officer
involved shootings and is doing so in this case.
The case remains under investigation. |
