After Anderson was shot, Allgier ran to Foothill Drive and Wakara Way, police said, carjacking an SUV from two people.
Salt Lake City police, acting on information about where Allgier might be headed, spotted him near 900 West and 400 South. A 40-minute chase ensued, reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph. The chase made a loop from southbound I-15 to westbound I-215 to eastbound State Route 201 before exiting on Redwood Road.
Allgier abandoned the vehicle in the parking lot of Arby's, near 1700 S. Redwood Road, and ran inside the restaurant where there were about 10 customers and employees.
"Allgier entered the Arby's and held the gun in the air and told everyone to get on the ground," according to the booking report. "Two Arby's employees then attempted to take Allgier into custody. Allgier pointed the gun (at) one employee and pulled the trigger. The gun malfunctioned and didn't fire. Allgier then hit both employees with the gun."
Eric Fullerton, 59, a former Army paratrooper, became involved in the struggle and knocked the gun away from Allgier.
Allgier was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of aggravated murder and carjacking, both first-degree felonies, escape, attempted homicide, aggravated assault by a prisoner and theft of a firearm, all second-degree felonies, and fleeing causing property damage and a weapons violation, both third-degree felonies.
The Salt Lake District Attorney's Office is expected to file charges within the week.
Meanwhile, Arby's, the scene of panic on Monday, opened for business on Tuesday.
The lunchtime crowd Tuesday was steady with approximately half of the tables full and a short line throughout the noon hour for food. The drive-thru where the stolen Ford Explorer finally came to a stop was also open and busy with a consistent stream of about a half-dozen vehicles idling in line.
Conversations throughout the dining area ranged from the Jazz to movies to work politics. When asked about Monday's events multiple patrons essentially shrugged it off, saying it had little bearing on their dining decisions.
"I eat here a couple of times a week," one woman who asked not to be identified said. "I'm just glad I didn't want to eat here yesterday."
At the prison, a holding pattern for the majority of its prisoner transports continued Tuesday.
