A judge has ruled in favor of an Upper Peninsula police officer and dismissed a lawsuit over the fatal shooting of a man who had threatened to kill himself. Marquette County sheriffs deputy Keith Romback said he went to Clifford Tucker's home in Ishpeming Township in 2016 because the former logger was despondent over chronic pain and threatening to end his life. Romback told Tucker he was there to help him. The deputy followed Tucker to a bedroom where the 68-year-old veteran picked up a shotgun. The deputy reasonably concluded that Tucker posed a credible threat of serious harm, U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney said on Aug. 28.
