Vernal, Ut.- On 01/03/2023, at about 5:16 pm, Cpl Pummell was dispatched to a report of a Domestic incident. Upon his arrival, Cpl Pummell contacted a female who was later identified as the victim of an assault.

The female was upset and crying. Cpl Pummell asked the victim if the male, who he knew as 38-year-old Ryan Dee Foreman, was home. She told me he was gone and permitted the Cpl to check the residence.

Cpl Pummell went upstairs and found two young girls in a room who told him that Ryan was asleep and that the victim woke him up at about 4:00 pm. The girls told Cpl Pummell that Ryan was mad because he was late for work, and he knocked the victim onto the floor and started to kick her.
