US EditionMeth user who ran over WA cop found guilty of manslaughter
- Reagan Ainslie Chown was found guilty of manslaughter for running over Constable Anthony Woods on June 8, 2023, in Ascot, Perth.
- The incident occurred after Chown, who was under the influence of methamphetamine, fled in a stolen car and was tasered by Constable Woods trying to stop him.
- The officer deployed his Taser at the moving Holden Cruze, then fell and was pulled beneath the vehicle, sustaining fatal injuries despite receiving hospital care.
- The jury took less than three hours to convict Chown, with Prosecutor Justin Whalley describing the event as criminal negligence and the car 'reversing backwards under power.'
- The verdict brought relief to Constable Woods' family and WA Police, with Police Commissioner Col Blanch calling Woods a hero and rejecting claims the officer placed himself in danger.
