An Ogema (MN) man will serve more than six years in prison after being found guilty of shooting and killing a retired Lake Park Police Chief.
Morris Dodd Jr., who was found guilty of second degree manslaughter in the shooting death of Jay Nelson was sentenced on Wednesday to six-and-a-half years in jail.
While hunting in 2018, Nelson was shot as he drove on the Yellowhead Trail in West Sugarbush Township.
Dodd denied he knew he had shot Nelson, admitting he had fired a shot to frighten a fawn … and said he was scared to turn himself in after seeing news reports… knowing he was not allowed to own a gun because of a felony sex charge.
