Minnesota man sentenced to 25 years in prison for 2021 shootout with Utah Highway Patrol troopers, shutting down freeway for hours
James Howard Klein, 35, was charged in May 2021 with four counts of attempted aggravated murder, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, and one count of aggravated robbery, which are all first-degree felonies. He was also charged with multiple second- and third-degree felonies related to the incident.
Klein, who is from Minnesota, was placed in a deputy's patrol car without handcuffs, then climbed into the driver's seat and took off at a high rate of speed, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office. He then crashed at the next exit, then pulled a"secured" rifle out of the police vehicle and began shooting at UHP troopers.
