ANCHORAGE \u2014 State prosecutors have filed criminal charges against a Wasilla man who was shot and wounded by a homeowner as he fled Alaska State Troopers after an attempted traffic stop.<\/p>\n
Codey Tallman, 24, was treated Wednesday at a hospital for a gunshot wound, released and arrested. He was scheduled for arraignment Thursday on felony charges of drug possession and failure to stop at the direction of a police officer.<\/p>\n
Tallman was charged with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, reckless driving and assault and issued eight traffic citations.<\/p>\n
The name of the homeowner was not released. The shooting of Tallman by the homeowner will be reviewed, said Megan Peters, a spokeswoman for the troopers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe district attorney will make a determination on if his actions were justified,\u201d Peters said in an email.<\/p>\n
The incident began when an officer shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday tried to stop a pickup for an equipment violation in Wasilla. The driver sped off.<\/p>\n
The suspect exceeded the speed limit and passed a school bus with red lights activated, troopers said.<\/p>\n
On a Wasilla street in a heavily populated neighborhood, the suspect jumped out of the pickup and ran through several yards, troopers said.<\/p>\n
Troopers formed a perimeter to try to catch the suspect. An armed homeowner, troopers said, realized officers were seeking the suspect and told him to stop.<\/p>\n
The suspect shoved the homeowner, troopers said, causing the homeowner minor injuries. When the suspect charged the homeowner, troopers said, the homeowner pulled a gun and shot him.<\/p>\n
He remained jailed Thursday at the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility, and online court records did not indicate he had an attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
