Jury finds Partlow guilty of terrorizing

Michael Partlow was found guilty of terrorizing in Southeast District Court Friday evening.

Partlow was accused of pointing a shotgun at police officers called to his apartment building because of his suicide threats in an incident occurring at about 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 19, 2010. The officers fired on him, causing several wounds.

The jury deliberated for about four hours before returning the verdict. In the finding of facts, a second part of the verdict, the jury found that Partlow did not inflict or attempt to inflict bodily injury during the course of the commission of the terrorizing act.

Terrorizing is defined as threatening to commit a crime of violence or act dangerous to life and can include acts with a reckless disregard of risk.
