[UT] Officer Farnsworth on leave for domestic violence

UTAH

VIDEO - FROM 911 CALL: "My best friend just told me to call 911 - that her husband just broke her nose..."
================================



A Salt Lake City police officer is on paid administrative leave due to allegations that he hit his wife.

Officers were called to the couple's home after a friend of the woman alerted authorities.

911 caller: "My best friend just called me and told me to call 911, that her husband just broke her nose."

Salt Lake City police officer Rick Farnsworth was cited for domestic violence.

When officers arrived at the house, both Farnsworth and his wife claimed nothing was wrong.

The Salt Lake City police department is conducting an internal investigation.

If Farnsworth is found guilty, he would not be able to carry a weapon, according to a state law. This would jeopardize his career as a police officer.

@travishougland  bullshit

I'm a veteran, who's circled the globe twice... And in my travels, I have never met a more dishonorable bunch of greedy, lazy, ignorant, gestapo, law-breakers, and liars, than Utah cops. If you're not a part of the "Good ol' boy network" or mormon, BE WARNED, your constitutional rights WILL be abused, and NOBODY will stand up for you, or your rights. This place is a moral cesspool, and I'm embarrassed to have honorably fought for, and protected their privilege to call themselves Americans...
