Spokane County Sheriff s Office
SPOKANE, Wash. The Spokane Valley Police deputy who shot and killed a reckless driver in November will face no charges, the County Prosecutor’s Office announced Wednesday.
Deputy Thomas Walton was dispatched to stop a reckless driver, later identified as 41-year-old Nicholas Kausshen, near Valleyway and Mullan. Walton and other deputies followed Kausshen, with one deputy attempting to use his patrol car to stop the driver, but the attempt failed.
Kausshen crashed into parked cars, sped through intersections and drove through opposing traffic in a one-way road. Kausshen then allegedly turned and started driving toward Walton and another deputy, who both shared a patrol car.
