DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (AP) — An Ogema man has been sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison for fatally shooting a retired Lake Park police chief in Becker County.
Fifty-six-year-old Morris Dodd Jr. was earlier found guilty of second-degree manslaughter in the 2018 shooting death of Jay Nelson, who was killed in his pickup truck on a trail near his family’s hunting cabin on the White Earth Reservation.Recommended VideosPowered by AnyClipNicola Sturgeon visits new Police Scotland training academy726Play Videohttps://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.473.0_en.html#goog_1239769572

Dodd said he had fired a shot to spook a fawn and was scared to turn himself in after seeing news reports about Nelson’s death because he, as a sex offender, was not allowed to possess a gun, KVRR-TV reported.
A jury convicted Dodd of manslaughter. Prosecutors on Wednesday asked the judge to sentence Dodd to nearly eight years in prison.
Dodd’s lawyer asked for a sentence between five and six years, arguing it was a hunting accident.
