Two Las Vegas police officers who shot and killed Erik Scott in the controversial Costco shooting last year have received honors in a national officer of the year award.
Officers William Mosher and Joshua Stark received honorable mention in the National Association of Police Organizations' Top Cops awards.
A third officer involved in the shooting, Thomas Mendiola, was not honored. In January, Mendiola was charged with a felony for unlawfully giving a handgun to a two-time felon in an unrelated case. He has a preliminary hearing in May...
Scott's father, Bill Scott, called the honor "incredible." "The arrogance of Chris Collins and the PPA in even nominating these two staggers the imagination," he said. He called the officer's actions a "mistake" and added, "Now they're being honored for their mistakes?"
