New lawsuit filed against deputy in shooting of Edmonds man
EVERETT — A new lawsuit calls Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy Art Wallin’s decision to shoot and kill a 24-year-old Edmonds man “outrageous and extreme.”
An earlier lawsuit filed by the family of Nickolas Peters was settled for $1 million.
Britt Jakobsen filed the new tort claim Monday in Snohomish County Superior Court, naming Wallin, Snohomish County and unidentified sheriff’s deputies as defendants. Jakobsen was in the passenger seat three years ago when the deputy shot her boyfriend, Peters, twice through the windshield.
In the claim for damages, Jakobsen alleges she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder in the aftermath of the shooting. She had to seek treatment, resulting in medical expenses, the lawsuit says.
