Off-duty Edmonds cop won’t face criminal charges after she allegedly pointed gun at driver

The prosecuting attorney for the city of Lynnwood said they will not be filing criminal charges against Melinda Leen. After meeting with both parties, the city said it could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Leen was not acting in self-defense.

Leen said the man made a “finger gun” gesture when they stopped at the light, prompting her to pull out her pistol and briefly flash it at him before putting it away.

The 911 caller told police Leen pointed a black pistol directly at him after he “put [his] hands up all confused.” The police report does not include any statement by the man that he made a “finger gun” gesture.
