| by Travis Uresk | June 25th 2026 | Naples, Utah (6/20/26)—Deputy Lyman responded to a report of a domestic incident involving a man who stated that his girlfriend had been running outside topless, shouting at their neighbors. The deputy spoke with the male, who reported that 55-year-old Cleann Yates Rambo had been at a friend's house the night before and had been drinking. CleAnn reached out to him for a ride but he was unable to help at that time. Upon her return home, they started drinking together, and CleAnn became angry about the previous night since the victim couldn't pick her up. An argument ensued, during which CleAnn threw her phone at the victim, hitting him in the chest. The victim then tried to retreat to the garage for separation, but CleAnn blocked his path by grabbing his shirt and standing in front of him. Deputy Lyman approached the front door, which was locked. The victim allowed him entry to search for CleAnn, who was found hiding in a downstairs closet. When asked to come out, she refused and stepped back inside, reaching into her pockets. Due to safety concerns and prior reports of her being physical, officers pulled her from the closet. After being removed, her pockets were searched for weapons. Upset about the search, CleAnn began removing her clothing to prove she had no weapons. She was warned that undressing would lead to an arrest, but she continued, pulling down her pants, exposing herself, and attempting to remove her shirt. CleAnn was then taken into custody to prevent further undressing. While being detained, she was informed of her arrest. CleAnn resisted and attempted to pull away from the officers. As officers covered her with a blanket, the smell of alcohol was noticeable. A portable breath test later showed a result of .098.

- Domestic Disturbance Call Leads to Woman’s Assault Allegation Disproven by Police Investigation
| by Travis Uresk | June 25th 2026 | Fruitland, Utah (6/18/26)—At approximately 2 AM, 911 received a report regarding a domestic disturbance in the Fruitland vicinity. Chantelle reported an ongoing argument with her girlfriend, 37-year-old Ashley Nicole Duran, escalating after Ashley allegedly threw a kitten against a wall. Deputies Green and Robinson responded and met with Chantelle, who explained that Ashley had been drinking all day and was currently lying down in their shared motorhome. Chantelle claimed that the two had been shouting at each other all day and said Ashley had physically removed her from the motorhome. When asked if anyone else was present, she mentioned that Robert was there as well. Deputy Green sought to speak with Robert, but Chantelle informed him that Robert and others had left when the argument intensified after they were asked to stop, prompting the two women to return to their motorhome for the night. The deputy then instructed Chantelle to contact Robert, which she did via FaceTime. In the conversation, Robert stated that the arguing had been ongoing since around 10 PM, even after requests for it to stop. He was asked if he had seen any physical altercation and replied that he had not, though Chantelle had claimed she was "pushed out" of the motorhome. She later indicated she was "thrown out" and expressed pain, but Robert did not support this claim and said he had not witnessed any physical altercation. When questioned about how she was thrown out and the cause of her pain, Chantelle described being grabbed by the chest while seated backward in the driver's seat and then picked up, forcefully removed, and thrown out of the door. Deputy Green noted in the probable cause report that Chantelle's account did not align with the motorhome's layout, as furniture and other items would obstruct such an action. He shared his doubts with her, to which she responded that she had visible marks. The deputy requested that she show these marks, but he was unable to see them. He informed her about the next steps regarding the evidence collected. After reviewing all information and available evidence, the deputies concluded no assault had occurred. Instead, deputies concluded that no assault had occurred; rather, the situation was one of disorderly conduct and intoxication. Based on the statements by both Chantelle and Robert, it was decided that Chantelle would receive a citation for disorderly conduct, while Ashley would be arrested and taken to the Duchesne County Jail for processing on charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication. Ashley was helped out of the motorhome, as she was having difficulty maintaining her balance. She was not aggressive and was cooperative, although her level of intoxication indicated she could not care for herself safely upon release.

He shared that he and the children were in the back room when 30-year-old Daidre Isabel Arther began to act aggressively. He recounted being hit several times, scratched on the face, and having two shirts torn from him.

- A 5-Year-Old Child Found Alone on the Side of The Road at 4 in the Morning
| by Travis Uresk | June 23rd 2026 | Vernal, Utah (6/22/26)—At around 4 am, authorities received a call regarding a five-year-old child found alone along 725 South. The caller indicated they first noticed the child around 8 pm on 06/21/2026 and again at 4 am on 6/22/26. Officers arrived to find the child in the street. When they approached, the child ran behind some parked cars. Noticing the front door of the residence was wide open, Officer White knocked and identified themselves multiple times. Eventually, an elderly man appeared, and the officers informed him about the child. The elderly man appeared confused, admitting he did not know the child’s name or who was responsible for his care. He mentioned that the mother had left, and he had no contact details for her. Another man present also seemed puzzled and claimed he didn’t know the mother or how to reach her. He stated she had only been staying there for a day. It was clear he lacked basic information about the child and was likely trying to cover for someone, avoiding a confrontation with that person. It came to light that there were three children in the home, two of whom belonged to 37-year-old Valita Ann Enriquez. Eventually, the third man stepped outside and seemed confused as well. He stated he barely knew Valita, describing her as merely an acquaintance, and said she had gone to Whiterocks and should return soon. He further admitted he was unaware that Valita had left or how long she had been gone. At around 6 am, Valita returned home to find police waiting. Officer Monsen informed her that her child had been seen alone in the street at 8 pm and 4 am, and that no one at the residence was aware of the child's whereabouts. Valita was argumentative, stating that they were outside with the child around 8 pm. Officer Monsen told her that it was not true. Valita was asked again who she left her children with. She stated a "friend" again. She had to be asked for the name of the "friend". She hesitated for a while but finally stated that it was the third man who said, "she is only an acquaintance," and that he is hesitant to interact with law enforcement. Valita described them as good friends and mentioned she had been living with them for about a week. The officer pointed out inconsistencies in her explanations and noted that the individuals she relied on for childcare were untrustworthy and had no means to contact her in an emergency. Valita maintained they could reach her via Facebook Messenger. The Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) was alerted about the situation. It was decided to remove the children from the home due to a lack of responsible supervision and the fact that the five-year-old had been outside alone at 4 am in the middle of the road. Initially, they were unable to reach Valita, but later informed DCFS when she returned home. DCFS arrived and took custody of the children. Deputy Monsen determined there was enough evidence to arrest Valita for reckless child abuse. She was arrested and taken to Uintah County Jail. Traffic and Criminal Report

| by Travis Uresk | June 20th 2026 | Vernal, Utah (6/16/26)—Law enforcement responded to the Silver Pines Apartment Complex regarding a theft. While investigating the theft, a woman reported a domestic violence incident that took place on May 15th, 2026. The woman stated that she and 25-year-old Austin J. Bodily had been arguing over a previous incident from the summer of 2025. She explained to Cpl. Randall said that Austin was in their bedroom, while she stood in the hallway holding her 8-month-old child. When Austin walked out of the bedroom, she moved aside. Austin reportedly lunged at her, grabbing her arm. She warned him, “If you don’t get your hands off me, I’m going to call the police.” He released her and left the apartment. The woman indicated that she had marks on her arm from the altercation and provided the officer with photos of the injuries. Cpl. Randall observed a long red mark on the woman’s inner arm and a small circular red spot on her bicep. These marks appeared consistent with someone being grabbed. Cpl. Randall asked Austin if he recalled any argument from May that stood out to him. He replied that they have occasional disagreements, but nothing notable came to mind. The officer informed Austin of the woman's account of their argument, and Austin asked whether he had pushed her or done anything similar. He made Austin aware that he had grabbed her arm and that photos were showing a clear red mark. Austin then questioned Cpl. Randall, asking if he meant the incident where she hit her arm and took a picture, claiming she would use that as proof of abuse. The officer clarified that the marks he saw did not match someone hitting their own arm. Austin Bodily was arrested and taken to the Uintah County Jail, where he was booked on charges of assault (domestic violence) and domestic violence in the presence of a child.

- Man Threatens Woman Before Slashing Her Car Tires
| by Travis Uresk | June 18th 2026 | Roosevelt, Utah (6/6/26)—Roosevelt Police were dispatched to the Davis Food & Drug on reports of possible property damage. Dispatch advised that the complainant stated the tires were slashed on her Hyundai Sonata. Dispatch advised that the complainant believed it was 35-year-old Anthony James Reuss who had slashed her tires because he had been making threats that morning about damaging her car, and it had been going on for the last six months. Officer Arnold arrived and found the car parked in the middle of the parking lot with two flat tires. The vehicle owner told police they could rewind the cameras to see who did it. She stated she was actually on her way to get a restraining order on her lunch break. The officer asked her about the threats she was receiving. The woman said Anthony was making threats this morning, and that it's an everyday thing for him. She told him last night she had an incident at his mom's house. She stated he is just out of control right now. Officer Arnold asked if the threats this morning were over text, and she said yeah she should still have them on her phone. She pulled up her messages and gave her phone to the officer to read through. He read through the texts, but didn't really see anything directly saying he was going to damage her car. He did say, "Maybe I'll come take those car parts that you haven't paid for since they are mine," and followed it up with "And you're wasting your time, texting me because you're blocked." The officer took a photo of those messages. While she was looking for the messages, she told him he had taken her ID, and that was why she had gone over there last night. She said he told her he had her ID, so she went over to get it, and it went from 0 to 100 real quick "because he's a fucking psychopath." She said she wasn't 100% sure he did it, but she was pretty sure he did. She also said, "Who knows, I might just have two flat tires." "I might just need new tires." "I have been having tire problems." Officer Arnold asked if she would fill out a statement, and she said yes. He then went to look at the tires and took photos. The officer could not see any obvious puncture marks in either tire. Once she finished her statement, the police collected it from her and told her they would review the footage and go from there. Police requested the footage from Davis Food & Drug, but no one there could use the cameras, but would get it ready for the officers. On 6/15/2026, Officer Arnold received video from Davis Food & Drug with a screenshot of the license plate. Not all of the letters could be seen, so the officer conducted a partial plate search based on the letters he could see and found the full plate number registered to Anthony Reuss, which matched the screenshot of the vehicle. Police then watched the video and saw that it was indeed Anthony who got out of the vehicle. In the video, Anthony can be seen parking next to the woman’s car on the north side, getting out, and crouching down next to each tire for just a few seconds. Anthony then hurries back to his vehicle and leaves. On 6/16/2026, Officer Arnold attempted to contact the female, but she did not answer. He decided to review old reports attached to her name and read in a Keep the Peace report that Anthony was trying to get a stolen vehicle back. The report states that Anthony "had just cut his losses when his ex-girlfriend, (the female in this incident). Officer Arnold asked Deputy Clyde to respond to Anthony's address with him, as he had previously responded to calls for service there. When they arrived at Anthony's residence, the female's car was parked in the driveway. They approached the trailer, and the female opened the door to the camp trailer. The police asked if Anthony could come to the door to speak with them, and he stepped out of the trailer. Anthony sat down on the steps of the trailer to put on his shoes and told the officers they were just talking and that he had figured out why they were there. Anthony said he wasn't trying to hurt anybody. Officer Arnold asked Anthony to tell them what happened. Anthony said they have been having a rough go at it, that he was getting the air out, and that he thought she was about to go on break. Anthony told the police he thought she would go on break, hear the air, and call him. Anthony said he was just trying to get a phone call. Officer Arnold asked Anthony if he had just unscrewed the valve stems, and he said yeah. Anthony stated there's a little coil that goes inside there, and he just barely cracked it, so the air was leaking really slowly. Anthony was told by the police that they had watched the video of him next to the woman's car, but couldn't see any slash marks or any damage to the tires. Anthony said he wasn't trying to damage her tires because he had put money into that car. He stated he doesn’t know where he and the female are in the relationship, but he knows he loves her. Officer Arnold spoke with the female and asked her what she ultimately had to do with her tires. She told him they tried to air them up, and the next day, one of them was still flat, so she ended up having to go get brand-new tires. She said that they told her the tires were pretty messed up from when they went flat. He then asked her if she and Anthony were currently dating; she said no. He then asked if they had dated in the past, and she said yeah. Officer Arnold returned to speak with Anthony again and explained that the tires were damaged as a result of his actions. He responded with the fact that both of his parents were bedridden, and asked if there was any way they could work with him. It was explained to him that under Utah law, they were considered cohabitants, which makes this a domestic violence offense, and that they had to make an arrest because of those circumstances. Anthony was placed in handcuffs and escorted to a patrol vehicle. He was searched incident to arrest, then placed in a patrol vehicle. He was then transported to the Duchesne County Jail, where he was booked for criminal mischief and domestic violence. Traffic and Criminal Report
