Hatfield Charged: New Evidence and What it Means

Early Thursday afternoon, the Salt Lake County District Attorney's office filed formal charges against Dominique Hatfield. The charging documents revealed some new information, and helps to set expectations for when we might see Hatfield back on the field again, if ever.

Dominique Hatfield was formally charged on Thursday afternoon. In addition to the armed robbery charge on which he was additionally booked, Hatfield was also charged with Theft of Lost or Misdelivered Property, a Class A misdemeanor.

Class A misdemeanors are serious crimes in their own right; they are tried in district court and convicted defendants serve any sentenced jail time in state prison, not county jails as with a lower grade misdemeanor.
