Utah police officers disciplined for drug use, having sex on duty
Utah Department of Corrections Lt. Tolly G. Ivie said he had good reason to beat up that man.
Ivie claimed the man fondled his wife in a tent during a gathering in Payson. When Ivie confronted the man, the man took an aggressive posture and asked Ivie what he was going to do about it, Ivie said Wednesday. Ivie attacked the man, leaving him with serious injuries.
"This is just an unfortunate incident he got the injuries he did," Ivie told the Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which met here Wednesday to consider discipline cases and other business.
But Payson police didn’t believe the fondling occurred and thought the wife was covering for Ivie, who admitted he had been drinking that night. At least two other law enforcement agencies were unable to substantiate the fondling.
And so on Wednesday, the council declined Ivie’s request for leniency and revoked Ivie’s certification to be a police officer. Ivie stormed out of the room, slamming a door against the wall as he exited, seconds after the vote.

In Carbon County, deputy Christopher H. Basso was caught on video stealing methamphetamine out of the evidence room. He later admitted to ingesting the drugs. The council revoked his certification Wednesday.
The council also revoked the certification of former Summit County deputy Corey Staley. He pleaded guilty in March to a misdemeanor charge of child abuse for choking a 4-year-old boy in his care.
