Man shot by police had weapons, disguise in car
The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office has released additional information regarding their investigation into the police chase that led to the fatal shooting by police of the suspect, Justin Todd, early Monday morning.
Investigators completed evidence processing of the suspect’s vehicle yesterday.
During the search of the vehicle, investigators located a wig, clothing and false identifications as well as evidence that the vehicle was recently painted from blue to white.
They also located six cans of black spray paint that the sheriff's department speculates may have been part of a plan to paint the car again.
Additionally, a "brass knuckle/stun gun combination weapon," a knife, three cell phones, drug paraphernalia and a police scanner that was operating and tuned to local law enforcement frequencies were all in the car.
Today, investigators completed interviews with the involved officers.
The final autopsy report is anticipated in three to five weeks from the pathologist.
Investigators will now take the next several days compiling all of the information in preparation of providing the entire report to the Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney, Barry McHugh, for his review.
