The Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating three Roy police officers for sexual assault allegations over something they are accused of doing when responding to a medical emergency, according to information released by both agencies.
Detective Arlan Bennett with the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office said his office is heading the investigation. Deputies from Salt Lake County responded to the May 14 emergency at the Snowbird ski resort along with the Roy officers, he said.
According to Sgt. Joshua Taylor of the Roy police, the department initially put four officers on administrative leave after learning of the sexual assault allegations. One of the four is no longer being investigated and has returned to work, Taylor said.
Bennett said his agency is processing evidence and interviewing people involved in the alleged assault. He could not give a timeline of when the sheriff’s office can release more information.
