Montgomery County Officer Charged with Voluntary Manslaughter in Unarmed Upper Pottsgrove Shooting

A 58-year-old Montgomery County police corporal, Sean Farrell, has been charged with voluntary manslaughter for the Aug. 23 fatal shooting of 22-year-old Glen Pysher IV in Upper Pottsgrove Township. Pysher was unarmed and had his hands up when Farrell fired after ordering him to drop to the ground; investigators say Farrell had non-lethal options and that the use of deadly force was not justified. Farrell surrendered to detectives and bail will be set at his arraignment.

Pennsylvania officer faces voluntary manslaughter charge in wrong-house shooting

A Pennsylvania deputy coroner? (Correction: Corporal Sean Farrell, 58) Upper Pottsgrove Police was charged with voluntary manslaughter for the Aug. 23 death of Glenwood Earl Pysher IV, a 22-year-old who mistakenly went to the wrong house. Investigators say Farrell had less-lethal options and fired two shots as Pysher, with hands up, walked toward him; the DA says deadly force was unnecessary. Farrell surrendered, bail was set at $75,000, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 10. The case is based on body-cam footage and an investigation by the Montgomery County Detective Bureau, with the family’s attorney saying they seek justice for a preventable death.
