PROBABLE CAUSE STATEMENT: The undersigned prosecutor is a Deputy

Davis County Attorney and has received information from the investigating officer, Michael

Moon of the Kaysville Police Department, and the information herein is based upon such

personal observations and investigation of said officer.

On April 5, 2018, Defendant, at a Chevron station in Kaysville, purchased a gas

can, filled it with gas, then went into the bathroom of that business and poured the gasoline all
over him and over the floor of the business. Defendant then produced a lighter, acting if he was

going to ignite the gasoline. At this point, multiple law enforcement officers attempted to

intervene to stop Defendant from lighting the gasoline and injuring himself or others. After

attempts to talk the Defendant down were unsuccessful, officers attempted to physically restrain

the Defendant. During this process, Defendant leaned down and ignited the gasoline on the floor

with the lighter, lighting him and multiple officers on fire in the process. Defendant’s conduct

was captured on body cameras worn by officers.

Defendant’s act caused serious injuries to two officers, requiring hospitalization

and long term recovery. Defendant’s act also inflicted minor burns on two other officers.

Defendant also suffered serious burns due to his actions. As a result, he was air-

lifted by medical helicopter to the University of Utah hospital in Salt Lake City. While the

helicopter was attempting to land at the hospital’s heli-pad, Defendant broke free from his

restraints and began violently kicking the helicopter’s window and door in an effort to escape

from the helicopter. In so doing, Defendant broke out the window in the main access door for

the helicopter, causing $2,156.45 in damages to the helicopter. When the in-flight nurse

attempted to restrain the Defendant so that the Defendant wouldn’t further injure himself or

others, Defendant grabbed the worker by the face, tearing at the nurse’s cheeks.
