While confronting them, Omar pointed the gun at all of them, and began firing it out the window of his vehicle getting closer and closer to the victims before ceasing fire, getting out and pulling out what was described as an AR-type rifle and pointing it at them, before fleeing down the mountain,” police wrote in their affidavit.Deputies believe Levi threw the weapons out of his vehicle as he was driving out of the canyon back to his house, the affidavit states.When his name was checked by public safety dispatchers, Omar came back not having a driver’s license.After he was arrested and transported to the Millard County Jail, deputies had Levi do a blood-alcohol test which registered at 0.144.Loading... | | | | | | | | | | | | © 2020 | KSL Broadcasting Salt Lake City UT | Site hosted &amp; managed by - a &nbsp;&nbsp;X
