Susan Hunt, 51, was charged Wednesday in Saratoga Springs Justice Court with four misdemeanor counts, including interference with an arresting officer, failure to disperse and disorderly conduct stemming from the Oct. 19 incident.
Her son Darrien, 22, was fatally shot by police Sept. 10 while he was armed with a sword. Hunt's son was black.
Police said he was aggressive, but his family said race was a factor. The county attorney cleared the officers in the shooting.
Hunt was ordered to appear at an arraignment on Jan. 23, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
