"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 had a malfunction and didn't fire. Allgier then hit both employees with the gun."

Fullerton then got involved and knocked the gun away.

The heavily-tattooed suspect then fled to the back of the restaurant and was arrested a short time later without further incident by police who found him hiding in the manager's office.

Allgier was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of aggravated murder, a capital offense, and carjacking, a first-degree felony, 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.

Allgier was being held Tuesday at the Salt Lake County Jail on no bail for all charges.

The Salt Lake District Attorney's Office was expected to file charges within the next day or two. Because of the aggravated circumstances of killing a law enforcement officer and committing a murder during an escape attempt, Monday's incident could result in prosecutors pursuing the death penalty.

Arby's reopened its doors Tuesday morning.
