Facing Attempted Murder Charges
NYSP Press Release
On July 7, 2022, at about 10:43 pm, State Police and Washington County Sheriffs responded to 210 Jermain Hill Lane in White Creek for the report of a landlord-tenant dispute. After arriving at the scene, Matthew Parant, 38, who rents a home on the property, fired shots from a rifle at police and the property owner.
The investigation determined that Parant got into an argument with the property owner, and after learning police had been called, retrieved the rifle from his residence. While Troopers and Deputies were interviewing the property owner, Parant threatened to kill the officers and then began to shoot. Parant then barricaded himself inside the home with his girlfriend. Members from the State Police Crisis Negotiations Unit responded and negotiated with Parant for several hours. [Read more…] about Man Shoots at State Police and Landlord
