“Our attorneys will review the allegations and appropriately defend this officer,” he said. “We are trying to be fair,” Mr. Krasner said. The chase on Dec. 27, 2017, began after Mr. Ruch made a radio call from an unmarked police car, asking to check the registration on a white Hyundai that Mr. Plowden was driving, according to prosecutors. After the crash, Mr. Plowden got out of the car looking disoriented. Mr. Plowden’s left hand was raised over his face as Mr. Ruch fired his gun at Mr. Plowden, prosecutors said.
