Cop who threatened to kill protesters shoots, kills colleague who knocked on door, affidavit says [View all]

ALEXANDER, Ark. — An Arkansas police officer who told a colleague he would “shoot through the door” any protesters who came to his home has been charged with killing a fellow officer who knocked on his door last month, court records show.

Calvin Nicholas “Nick” Salyers, 33, of Alexander, is charged with manslaughter in the June 3 slaying of 36-year-old Scott Hutton, who was shot through Salyers’ front door.

Salyers turned himself in to state troopers Thursday, according to the Arkansas State Police. He was booked into the Saline County Jail with bail set at $15,000.




State police officials said last month that Saline County deputies were called around 7:12 p.m. June 3 to Salyers’ home, where they found the mortally wounded Hutton lying on the ground outside the residence. Hutton was taken to a hospital in Little Rock, where doctors pronounced him dead.
