Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill has cleared a Salt Lake City police officer who fatally shot a man on Aug. 13, after the man allegedly pulled a knife and threatened to injure officers trying to arrest him.
Patrick Harmon, 50, whose most recent address, according to court records from November 2016, was The Road Home shelter, was shot at about 10:20 p.m. at 1002 S. State Street.
A patrol officer had approached Harmon after the man rode across all six lanes of State Street without a rear red tail light, the DA’s report says.
When a check revealed Harmon was wanted for an felony arrest warrant, officers told Harmon he was going to be arrested.
