Sheriff: Fired deputy broke policy in shooting Edmonds man
EVERETT — During a pursuit that ended in the death of an Edmonds man almost a year ago, a deputy known for his composure was uncharacteristically panicked, according to others who were on duty that night.
In radio traffic recorded the night of Oct. 23, Deputy Art Wallin raised his voice as he chased a Ford F-150.
“He’s taking off again. He is all over the road. This guy’s going to kill someone,” Wallin said over the radio.
The intense encounter was brief, spanning two minutes and one mile. Wallin had to make split-second decisions, people working with him said.
The encounter ended when Wallin shot 24-year-old Nickolas Peters, who later died from his injuries at a hospital.
