SALT LAKE CITY — Prosecutors from two different agencies have declined to file charges against one of Salt Lake City’s highest-ranked officers. Still, more than 11 months later, the officer remains under internal investigation by his own department.
“He was drinking a Guinness. It was the first one that I had served him,” the bartender said. “He’s normally very nice... I walked around the corner, and he said, ‘What you’re doing is really ****ed up,’ and I said, ‘I’m just doing my job,’ and he said, ‘Well, you’re doing your job wrong.’” A prosecutor for Cottonwood Heights screened the case for disorderly conduct but ultimately decided against filing charges.
The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office screened the case for witness tampering but declined to prosecute after learning the witness in question would not come forward. Gill said it’s impossible to understand the content or context of the conversation without the witness cooperating. He said the conversation would not rise to the level of “witness tampering” unless Captain Bennett threatened the witness or asked them to testify falsely; it’s not witness tampering to ask someone to tell the truth.
— Adam Herbets, FOX 13 ❌ March 22, 2023 Kyle Jeffries, a retired detective with no ties to this case, said he agrees with the decision not to charge Captain Bennett.
