Sixth Judicial Prosecutor Will Jones announced Friday afternoon that no charges will be filed against the officer who shot Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in a pre-dawn raid by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“A law enforcement officer is justified in using deadly physical force if the officer reasonably believes that the use of force is necessary to defend himself or a third person from the use of deadly force Ark Code ANN. 5-2-610 (b)(2),” Jones stated in his release.
Jones also stated, “Prior to entering the residence, the officers identified themselves as police by initiating the lights and siren of a patrol vehicle that was parked in front of the residence and knocking and announcing their presence at the front door.”
