Ex-Claremont officer faces criminal charges
Ian Kibbe, a former Claremont police officer, faces criminal charges following an investigation into falsified reports, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. Read more here.
The investigation into Kibbe and another former Claremont officer, Mark Burch, was initiated in March.
Separately, Jim Kenyon reported on Sunday that an incident where Kibbe shot and killed a Claremont man in 2016 is getting a second look:
After a 3½-week investigation (in 2016), then-New Hampshire Attorney General Joe Foster announced that Kibbe’s use of deadly force was “legally justified.”
But 19 months after the shooting, Foster’s successor, Gordon MacDonald, has ordered a review of the case.
