In 2025, Allan pleaded guilty to two counts of obstructing and resisting an officer.
The Washoe County District Attorney’s Office addressed the timing of its official findings.
Officials said the release of the report was delayed until Allan’s criminal case was resolved.
The delay was put in place so the findings would not interfere with the prosecution.
But with the criminal case now completed, the final legal determination was issued.
District Attorney Hicks established that the officers’ use of deadly force was legally justified.
Knife in hand.
Gun in waistband.
Two officers fired seven rounds.
Allan survived.
He pleaded guilty to resisting police.
The shooting has been cleared.
