Last updated Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 2:16pm

KAYSVILLE — A Davis County sheriff’s deputy is on paid administrative leave following the fatal shooting of Brett Max Knight, 33, who led police from multiple agencies on a high-speed chase Monday along Interstate 15.

Three Utah County sheriff’s deputies also were involved in the shooting and are on paid administrative leave, said Dwayne Baird, spokesman for the state’s Department of Public Safety.

Baird does not know which officer actually shot Knight, who had a handgun and was believed to be involved in a bank robbery in Draper. It is protocol for officers directly involved in a shooting to be put on paid administrative leave.

CENTERVILLE — The woman who died in a crash on Interstate 15 Monday, Feb. 25, 2013, night has been identified as Maria Herrera, 18, of Layton, Utah Highway Patrol officials said. Herrera was driving a 2003 Subaru Legacy going north on I-15 when she failed to slow down for stopped traffic near Centerville at 8:19 p.m., said UHP Corporal Todd Johnson. Northbound traffic on 1-15 was closed in Farmington due to a officer shooting of Brett Max Knight, 33, who led police in a chase from Lehi to Kaysville. Knight was killed in the shooting. Herrera entered the left emergency lane, lost control of the Subaru, slid sideways across two lanes before hitting the right rear corner of a nearly stopped Hyundai passenger car. She then continued into the next lane and crashed into the rear of a stopped semi-truck. She continued into the right shoulder and was ejected out of the driver’s door. She was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, officers said. No one else was seriously injured. (Photos courtesy of Utah Highway Patrol)

CENTERVILLE — Sitting down to visit with a police officer can cause nervousness for elementary-aged children.

Many of the 70 or so kids who entered the Bountiful Applebees on Saturday morning were a little shy and not sure how to act with the 80 officers on hand, all in full uniform.

They were all there for the Shop With a Cop program sponsored by the Davis County Fraternal Order of Police.
