Androscoggin Deputy
Recognized for Bravery
On December 21, 2012, a woman called to report a domestic situation
had occurred at her home in Minot where she and her two children had
fled the home and her husband loading an AK-47 assault rifle.
Sgt. Tilsley arrived on scene and started to coordinate the
response. He learned that the residence sat about 750 feet off the
road and had surveillance cameras and a large open lawn surrounding
it. As Sgt. Tilsley was gathering information and assigning units,
he began hearing automatic gunfire coming from the house.
Sgt. Tilsley assigned Tr. Dan Hanson, Tr. Ronald Turnick, Tr. Joseph
Bureau and Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Deputy Eric Sampson to
establish a perimeter around the residence, as gunfire rained on the
scene as bullets passed over their heads, struck nearby trees and
the ground in front of them. Through it all, they maintained
their positions and relayed vital information back to the command
post and the tactical team. For his efforts that day, Sgt. Kyle
Tilsley is awarded the Special Award of Commendation.
And for courage under fire, Tr.
Daniel Hanson, Tr. Ronald Turnick, Tr. Joseph Bureau and Deputy Eric
Sampson will receive the State Police Award for Bravery.
