On August 19, 1997, at about 2:30 p.m., New Hampshire state trooper Scott Phillips stopped Drega in the parking lot of LaPerle's IGA supermarket in neighboring Colebrook for having too much rust on his pickup truck.[2] Drega got out of his truck with his rifle and fired upon Trooper Phillips, who was hit but returned fire before retreating into a nearby field. Drega followed Phillips into the field and murdered him.
That’s nice. You can read wikipedia.
If you actually remembered Carl Drega, you’d know that there was a whole lot more going on there, and that the town officials had very dirty hands.
I’m pretty sure I’ve been to that IGA—honeymooned in Colebrook about 5 years later—first time I’ve heard of this.
Dang!
I definitely shudda read ahead!
