In April 2007, while working patrol, Levasseur responded to a 911 call for help. Upon arrival, he was informed by the caller that Selvin M. Garrido Morales was attempting to stab his friend and girlfriend with a knife. When Levasseur and other officers confronted Morales, Morales proceeded to charge at the officers with a knife. Levasseur shot and killed Morales (Levasseur described it as a suicide by police). He and the other officers involved were cleared of any wrongdoing by a grand jury. Throughout the course of his career, Levasseur received multiple awards, including letters of recognition, unit citations, commendations, and the Medal of Valor, which is the highest honor a sworn officer can receive. In 2017, he was the recipient of the American Red Cross “Hero Award” after saving seven people from a burning building. Levasseur was a police officer for 13 years. He retired in 2017 to open his own private investigation firm, Break Investigative Group.
