TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The Pierce County prosecutor has filed additional charges against the man accused of being the getaway driver when Maurice Clemmons killed four Lakewood police officers.
Darcus Allen is already charged with aggravated murder in the November 2009 shootings at a Parkland coffee shop.
Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said Wednesday he filed second-degree murder charges to give a jury more options when the case goes to trial, scheduled for March 1.
The News Tribune reports that if the 39-year-old is convicted of the second-degree murder charges he could receive a sentence of 122 years.
