The last of five officers charged last year in connection with the abuse of inmates at the Daggett County jail has resolved his case.
On Jan. 19, in Summit County’s justice court, he entered a plea in abeyance, meaning the case will be dismissed in six months if he commits no new crimes and pays a $500 court fee.
Harsher punishment was dealt to jailer Joshua Cox, 27, who was sentenced to four months behind bars for abusing inmates, including stunning them with Tasers in exchange for soda, and taking police dogs into the jail for training, which resulted in two people being bitten.
