An Upper Perk police officer was justified in âthe use of deadly forceâ when a Pennsburg man charged at him while brandishing a sword, Montgomery Countyâs top law enforcement official has ruled in the investigation of the fatal officer-involved shooting. District Attorney Kevin R. Steele announced on Monday that the county detective bureauâs independent investigation concluded that the Feb. 9 fatal shooting by Upper Perk police of Trey Bartholomew, 27, of Valley Court in Pennsburg, was a lawful use of force.
