Justin Earl Nicholas Todd
Deadly force
A Nissan Sentra passed through the regional License Plate Recognition system on Interstate 90. The LPR system alerted the Post Falls Police Department that the driver of the other, a Justin Earl Todd, was wanted by the Kootenai County Violent Crime Task Force. The officers were notified that Mr. Todd was an officer safety concern and they should use caution in dealing with him. An Idaho State Police Trooper located the other in Post Falls. The Trooper attempted to stop the other, the driver refused to stop for the Trooper, and a pursuit ensued. The pursuit continued through Post Falls, Coeur d' Alene and into the City of Hayden. After several pit maneuvers to stop the other, Mr. Todd skidded to a stop. Officers approached Todd's other in an attempt to take him into custody. Todd backed up rapidly, and then accelerated forward, toward the ISP Trooper. Todd was shot and killed.
