BCA Identifies Deputy Noah Hallman, 75-Year-Old Dennis Hoie in Bagley Fatal Shooting

Investigators will submit the case to the Clearwater County attorney for review.

Overview

  • State investigators say Hallman fired his department-issued handgun after Hoie shot a flare gun toward deputies during an arrest attempt.
  • Deputies recognized Hoie at a Bagley gas station on felony warrants, pursued him, and a Bagley officer used a PIT maneuver that stopped his pickup in a residential driveway.
  • Hallman has three years of law enforcement experience, was placed on critical-incident leave, and his body-worn camera was recording.
  • Investigators recovered an orange flare gun at the scene, and Hoie was pronounced dead there after life-saving efforts.
  • A deputy positioned on the driver’s side received a graze wound to the head that did not require hospitalization.
