Richard
Klementovich, Cop, Arrested After Allegedly Shooting At cops
Richard Klementovich, an 18-year veteran of the Clifton, NJ police
force, was led away by cops after a 10-hour standoff in which he allegedly shot
officers.
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — Authorities say a New Jersey police officer accused of
opening fire with a high-powered rifle after a standoff at his estranged wife's
Philadelphia-area home had called police himself to report a dispute.
Police say 42-year-old Clifton Township officer Richard Klementovich
faces 14 attempted homicide counts after Sunday's 10-hour standoff in
Doylestown.
Police say Klementovich called them. Acting chief Dean Logan says an
envelope was found in the driveway addressed to police that said Klementovich
was an officer and had 2,000 rounds of ammunition. Officers were soon under
fire, and one suffered minor injuries.
Klementovich surrendered with help from Clifton Township police. The
department says he's a 14-year veteran who also served in the Gulf War. Court
records say he has been unable to post bail; no defense attorney is listed
