OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Utah prosecutors say two Ogden police officers had justification to fatally shoot a man who charged at them with a rock last year.
The Standard-Examiner reports that Weber County Attorney Christopher Allred has determined that officers Brandon Sevenski and Tyson Embley acted within their rights when they shot 33-year-old Christopher William Parrish on Nov. 9, 2018.
Authorities say Parrish had fled a traffic stop, but he crashed a short distance away. He then fled on foot, and officers chased after him.
Ogden Police Chief Randy Watt says both officers have returned to work.
