Whoa:
The letter also revealed that Fitzsimmons had smoked marijuana earlier that night, a fact learned after he voluntarily submitted to a blood test. But he showed no signs of impairment when officers arrived, Schimel said, and so couldn't be charged with being armed while intoxicated.

He said a lesser charge of being armed with detectable amount of restricted substance wasn't appropriate given Fitzsimmons lack of a criminal history and lack of evidence at his home of any "substantial drug activity."

This is good. And, proof that castle doctrine is needed, because I guarantee that family is still going to try a civil suit.

WoW. Criminal record that goes back to 1991. Includes 7 counts of burglary, sexual assault of a child, disorderly conduct, battery, drug offense, OAR plus some civil judgements. I doubt there will be any civil action. Poster boy for the need of a castile doctrine law.
