WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) — Funeral services are scheduled Monday for a 25-year-old Salt Lake City area police officer who died in the line of duty.
West Valley City police Officer Cody Brotherson was fatally struck by a fleeing vehicle on Nov. 6 as he was he outside his car to lay down tire-puncturing spike strips.
Police say the stolen car careened down an embankment and slammed into a fence.
The three male teenagers inside the vehicle were taken into custody after running from the scene.
Brotherson joined the West Valley City Police Department in December 2013.
He's survived by his parents, two brothers and a fiancee.
Funeral services are set for 10 a.m. Monday at the Maverik Center in West Valley City with burial at Valley View Memorial Park.
