Man who killed NY state trooper in '74 released on parole
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A man who shot and killed a New York state trooper more than 40 years ago is free on parole after a police union's efforts to keep him in prison failed.
Seventy-four-year-old John Ruzas was released Monday from Fishkill Correctional Facility in the Hudson Valley. Sentenced to 25 years to life for killing Trooper Emerson Dillon, he was granted parole last month after numerous parole rejections.
Dillon was gunned down in 1974 after he had pulled over Ruzas' vehicle on the Thruway in Madison County in central New York. Ruzas and another man had just robbed a jewelry store in suburban Syracuse when Dillon stopped their vehicle.
Ruzas was granted parole after a judge ordered the state parole board to hear his case. The troopers' union opposed his release.
State officials say Ruzas is living in Suffolk County.
