Utah Man Receives Over 9 Years in Prison for Firing Officer's Holstered Gun

A Utah man, Brandon Keith Thompson, has been sentenced to over nine years in prison for possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon. This follows a 2021 incident where he fired a gun while struggling with police officers and a bystander in Sandy, Utah. This case underscores the risks law enforcement officers face in their duty to protect the community.
