The mother of a Utah man shot to death by five police officers during a traffic stop Wednesday had sued the department last year over an eerily similar traffic stop of her own, according to a report.
Chase Allan, 25, was killed around 3:20 p.m. when Farmington cops pulled him over near the city’s post office for driving without a license and called for backup when he became “non-compliant,” the department said Thursday.
Cops said Chase “asserted his independence from the laws of the land” by telling officers he was not required to provide information to the officer or cooperate.
“During an attempt to remove the driver from the vehicle shots were fired and the driver was injured,” cops claim. Chase was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Chase’s mother, Diane Allan, claimed police pulled her over for the same reason in April 2022.
According to court records obtained by KSL News Radio, cops conducted a traffic stop for driving without a license and an expired registration.
