DA explains decision not to charge deputy who Tased man who was then hit, killed by car on I-25

The deputy who used his Taser against a man on Interstate 25 who then died after being hit by oncoming traffic should not have used the stun gun, but did not commit a crime, the district attorney said Monday. Larimer County Sheriff's Deputy Lorenzo Lujan pulled over Brent Thompson, 28, along I-25 in Larimer County in February after seeing the Ford Fusion Thompson was driving had expired tags. Body camera video shows Thompson gave Lujan a fake name, then took off running once Lujan said he was going to arrest him. Lujan ran after Thompson, then deployed his Taser. Thompson fell onto I-25, where he was hit and killed by an oncoming car. "Although tragically Mr. Thompson died in this case, it was not a deadly physical force case as Colorado law defines it," DA Gordon McLaughlin said in a virtual town hall Monday.
