SALT LIKE CITY — Magna resident Louis Gregg, 48, was charged Wednesday for a list of offenses including aggravated assault for an altercation earlier this month with police officers during which he was shot.
On July 7, the Unified Police Department officers responded to calls that Gregg was threatening to harm a 14-year-old neighbor boy.
When police arrived at Gregg’s house, he came to the door holding a large metal pipe in his hand, yelling death threats and refusing to follow the officers’ commands, according to charging documents. As Gregg continued to advance on the officers, one tried using his Taser but missed. His partner pulled a gun and shot Gregg twice, once in the shoulder and again in the hip. Gregg was flown to the University Hospital in critical condition and was later released and booked into jail, the documents state.
His charges include two counts of aggravated assault, stalking with priors, three threats of violence and one charge for interfering with an arresting officer.
Gregg had an active warrant out against him for aggravated assault at the time of the incident.
