Two Rockford police officers and an off-duty Winnebago County sheriff’s deputy were justified in using deadly force on an armed man outside the Rockford Casino on May 28, according to Winnebago County State’s Attorney J. Hanley.
No criminal charges are warranted in the case, Hanley said in a nine-page memorandum issued Thursday after Hanley reviewed the investigation conducted by the Winnebago Boone Integrity Task Force.
Bradley Thompkins, 51, was shot by officers responding to a call of a man with a gun in the parking lot of the casino, 610 N. Bell School Road.
