The victim reported that 24-year-old Caleb Clinton James Palmer illegally obtained photos and threatened to post them on social media and send them to her family if she didn't get back together with him.
The victim provided Cpl Ross with multiple screenshots of messages from Caleb. There were many messages from the victim requesting Caleb to stop talking to her. The victim gave the officer screenshots of 54 missed calls within a six-minute time frame.
One of the messages shows Caleb telling the victim he had hacked into her Snapchat account, copied 128 screenshots, then told her to "Give everyone the fuck up, and I'm done with the games." "My kids want their mom, and I want my wife. Stop with the games."
Cpl Ross had Caleb meet with him at the Vernal Police Department. Caleb confirmed that the email he used to contact the victim was the same as the copies the victim provided. Caleb stated he hacked into the victim's Snapchat account and messaged her, calling her excessively after being told to stop. Caleb stated he told the victim that he was going to send the photos to individuals unless she got back together with him.
It was determined the evidence regarding Caleb attempted to gain his relationship with the victim, which he valued, by threatening to distribute an intimate image or video of the victim, Caleb engaged in sexual extortion. It was also determined the evidence regarding the number of phone calls and being told to stop contacting the Victim multiple times but continuing to contact her, Caleb engaged in electronic communication harassment.
Caleb was arrested and transported to the Uintah County Jail.
Cpl Ross contacted the victim to complete the required domestic violence paperwork, and she informed him of additional circumstances. The victim stated Caleb told her that she needed to contact Cpl Ross to tell him everything was okay and his services were no longer needed. The victim provided the officer with a message from Caleb to get a hold of the cops because he was not going to meet with Cpl Ross.
Cpl Ross went back to the jail to speak with Caleb, and he stated he knew there was currently an investigation in progress between himself and the victim. Caleb stated he told the victim to contact Cpl Ross to have him arrive at the victim's work to speak to both parties but denied telling her to stop the investigation.
While speaking with Caleb Cpl Ross noticed multiple inconsistencies with the story he provided to him before being arrested and during this interview.
Cpl Ross stated in the affidavit that if released on bail, Caleb would be a substantial danger to the victim and the community. Caleb had already attempted to extort the victim, excessively contacting the victim even after being told to stop, and then tried to have the victim contact Law Enforcement to stop the investigation. Caleb had already visited the victim at her residence and place of work in addition to the previously mentioned crimes. Caleb Palmer has been charged with multiple felonies that are enhanced due to being involved in domestic violence.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism.
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial matters. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration that they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships troubled and unfulfilling, and other people may not enjoy being around them.
Treatment for narcissistic personality disorder centers around talk therapy, also called psychotherapy.
Narcissistic personality disorder affects more males than females, and it often begins in the teens or early adulthood. Some children may show traits of narcissism, but this is often typical for their age and doesn't mean they'll go on to develop narcissistic personality disorder.
Symptoms
Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can:
Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration.
Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment.
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements.
Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are.
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people.
Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important.
Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them.
Take advantage of others to get what they want.
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
Be envious of others and believe others envy them.
Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited.
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office.
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can:
Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment.
Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted.
React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior.
Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior.
Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change.
Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail.
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection.
Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure.
Causes
It's not known what causes narcissistic personality disorder. The cause is likely complex. Narcissistic personality disorder may be linked to:
Environment — parent-child relationships with either too much adoration or too much criticism that don't match the child's actual experiences and achievements.
Genetics — inherited characteristics, such as certain personality traits.
Neurobiology — the connection between the brain and behavior and thinking.
Risk factors
Although the cause of narcissistic personality disorder isn't known, some researchers think that overprotective or neglectful parenting may have an impact on children who are born with a tendency to develop the disorder. Genetics and other factors also may play a role in the development of narcissistic personality disorder.
Complications
Complications of narcissistic personality disorder, and other conditions that can occur along with it include:
Relationship difficulties
Problems at work or school
Depression and anxiety
Other personality disorders
An eating disorder called anorexia
Physical health problems
Drug or alcohol misuse
Suicidal thoughts or behavior
Prevention
Because the cause of narcissistic personality disorder is unknown, there's no known way to prevent the condition. But it may help to:
Get treatment as soon as possible for childhood mental health problems.
Participate in family therapy to learn healthy ways to communicate or to cope with conflicts or emotional distress.
Attend parenting classes and seek guidance from a therapist or social worker if needed.
