From Riverton,Utah<\/a>, Derek Palmer, 36 was acting a fool at a friend’s house. The friend tried to get the inebriated sot into an Uber, but the driver was having no part of it. So Palmer did the next best thing – he took his pants off and started following teenagers into their garage where their father stopped him;<\/p>\n

The father heard what was happening, grabbed his gun, and went to the garage.<\/p>\n

“He states that he got in front of the male, later identified as Derek Palmer, and pushed him away. Palmer kept coming back at him, he kept pushing him away. When the male would not leave, (the father) took him to the ground and put him in a headlock,” the warrant states.<\/p>\n

When Palmer got back up, he again challenged the father, questioning whether the gun was even loaded.<\/p>\n

“(The homeowner) stated that he chambered a round into the gun at this point to show that it was loaded. Palmer then pulled out a knife and asked him if he would shoot him if he stabbed (the man) with the knife. (The homeowner) replied that he would,” according to the warrant.<\/p>\n

Palmer then threw it in the direction of the father and continued to walk toward him. The homeowner “was able to knock him down a couple more times, (but) Palmer kept getting up and advancing toward him,” the warrant states.<\/p>\n

When Darris Ellis “backed up as far as he could and Palmer refused to stay down on the ground, he shot him,” according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Palmer was shot twice. When Unified police officers arrived, they say Palmer attempted to grab the gun that was now lying on a container in the garage. An officer saw what he was doing and moved the weapon, but Palmer wouldn’t stop, court records state.<\/p>\n

“Multiple commands were given to Palmer to stop what he was doing and get on the ground. Palmer did not respond to the commands. (An officer) deployed his Taser, hitting Palmer,” the warrant states. The officer deployed a Taser on Palmer a second time when he again got up and allegedly tried to get the gun. He appeared to be readying to make a third attempt, police say, until an officer warned him that another Taser would be deployed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
