Charging documents in shooting of police officer

Here's a copy of the charging document against Joshua Martin.

Martin is charged in the killing of Maplewood police Sgt. Joseph Bergeron. Suffice it to say Martin tells a different story than witnesses.

There is a suggestion, however, of what precipitated the shooting. Martin said Jason Jones, who was killed by police on Saturday afternoon, had a parole violation.

MPR's Elizabeth Dunbar has filed this report on the charges.
