BISMARCK, ND — The prosecution and the defense gave opening statements at the trial of a Bismarck man who was shot during an encounter with police last year.
Daedyn Lewellyn faces several gun charges, and authorities say they were looking for him after a witness said he pulled a gun on someone that day. When they tracked down Lewellyn at the Interstate Loop U-Haul center, officers tried to arrest him. However, police say he didn’t comply with their commands and allegedly reached for a gun in his waistband, prompting an officer to shoot him.
His trial is expected to last one week.
