personal observations and investigation of said officer.
On February 1, 2016, Defendant and a co-defendant carjacked a vehicle in
Kaysville. When that car broke down a few minutes later on the freeway in Centerville,
Defendant attempted to carjack a second vehicle at knife point. That carjacking failed, so
Defendant carjacked another vehicle at knife point, dragging the victim on the outside of the car

at freeway speeds for some distance. Defendant then took the off ramp southbound at Parrish
Lane, ran a light at high speed, and struck another car, killing the driver.
