Two Marinette police officers who fatally shot a suspect near Peshtigo in August will not face criminal charges. That decision comes from Marinette County District Attorney DeShea Morrow, who ruled the officers’ use of deadly force was justified. On August 29th, Officers Parker De Los Santos and Andrew Bonjean pursued 23-year-old Andrew Collamore after spotting a vehicle connected to a Dane County homicide. Collamore’s car was stopped with a tire-deflation device along Highway 41 near Schacht Road, just south of Marinette. The vehicle rolled across the median and into the opposite lanes before coming to rest. According to investigators, Collamore told officers he had a knife and refused repeated commands to drop it. Body and dashcam video show him acting erratically, mentioning “Area 51” and saying, “You were supposed to execute me.” Moments later, Collamore ran or lunged toward Officer De Los Santos with the knife, prompting both officers to open fire. Sheriff Randy Miller, who was also on the scene, had deployed a Taser in an attempt to subdue Collamore. The Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Division of Criminal Investigation assisted in reviewing the case and confirmed the officers’ actions were consistent with state law and department policy. Authorities say Collamore was wanted in connection with the death of 70-year-old Thomas Muckler, whose body was found the day before in a cabin in the town of Mazomanie in Dane County. Investigators believe Collamore had been squatting at the property before the killing. District Attorney Morrow says the investigation is now closed, and no charges will be filed.
