Friday, November 1, 2002 BY ASHLEY BROUGHTON THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Provo police have arrested a 26-year-old Brigham Young University student who called to tell them he had unsuccessfully tried several times to poison his wife. The man, a California native now living in Provo, was being held Thursday in the Utah County Jail on suspicion of attempted aggravated homicide. The man called police Monday, apparently at the urging of his LDS bishop, said Provo police Capt. Brad Leatham. He told police he had tried to kill his wife because he was addicted to pornography, and "being married did not allow him to live the lifestyle he wanted," Leatham said. Divorce was not an option as the man's wife opposed it, according to Leatham. Police allege the man tried three times to kill his then-pregnant wife during the summer of 2001. In the first attempt in mid-July, he made her cookies laced with rat poison, Leatham said. But the woman thought the cookies tasted strange and did not eat them, he said. Two weeks later, the man picked some mushrooms he thought looked toxic from his back yard, using them in a spaghetti sauce. That plan also failed, Leatham said. After another two weeks, the man replaced his wife's blood-clot medicine -- which she injected daily during her pregnancy -- with hydrochloric acid, said documents filed in 4th District Court. Leatham said that substance was found to be fish tank cleaner. The woman told police the injection hurt more than usual that day, but she gave it little thought. The fish tank cleaner made her slightly ill, but "nothing that really bothered her," Leatham said. Prosecutors were reviewing the case Thursday, but had not filed charges against the man. The Salt Lake Tribune generally does not name suspects before they are charged. BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said the man is a part-time student in electrical engineering. The university has issued a notice of suspension, she said, meaning he will not be able to continue his classes or register. The university's review committee may wait for the outcome of the criminal case, she said, or could expel the man. At a hearing Monday, 4th District Judge Gary Stott set the man's bail at $250,000 cash only. Stott also prohibited the man from contacting his wife until permitted by the court. The man's wife said Thursday she and her daughter, born after the alleged homicide attempts, are doing fine. She declined further comment. |

Friday, March 14 (2003) 9:58 a.m. City of Eureka water workers tended to that town’s Mad River water conduit, which passes under Arcata. A Pacific Court resident didn’t make any direct threat, but the Jed Clampett-like concept of running the revenooers, er, water technicians off one’s property with a shotgun was somehow broached. 10:41 a.m. The water workers left the worksite after intimations of possible shotgun use, but needed to return to work on the pipes and asked that police check in. They did, and apparently forged a truce allowing work to continue. 2:22 p.m. Somebody reportedly found a nook, possibly a cranny, within the ceiling of a downtown travel agency in which to live, and moved in. Investigators found that someone unknown had simply moved a ceiling tile and installed a wind chime, but there was no evidence of any ceiling dwellers. 2:57 p.m. The jaunty bobbing of her blonde ponytail was tempered by a woman’s near-insensate staggering in front of the Fire Department, a woman was interviewed, found to have been drinking and sent on her way. 3:35 p.m. A disabled, bedridden man, oxygen dependent and on painkillers hardly seems like a menace, but when a home health care worker took a break, the man’s wife felt threatened and called police. Police calmed her. 4:15 p.m. Some travelers massed and then squabbled Their conviviality hobbled By ill-tempered ravements On Tavern Row’s pavement Then off to new conquests they wobbled. 4:52 p.m. During an arg, a Westwood Center woman smacked he from whose odious face-hole so much vile wrongness had issued. He told police he hit back “definitely way too hard.” The two were separated, and her restraining order has probably kicked in by now. 5:14 p.m. Two potted rosebushes valued at $65 were stolen off a front porch in the 500 block of J Street. 5:29 p.m. An old brown and white dog in an 11th Street yard appeared not to have the use of its hindquarters, and was thought to be trying unsuccessfully to get the attention of its owners. The owners said the dog was just old, and that they were caring for it. 9:12 p.m. Women were heard screaming it up in Valley West, and shortly thereafter a woman in an orange sweatshirt was observed sobbing and walking in circles around an apartment complex with a babe in arms. What happened is left to the imagination. Oh, man! I wonder who gets to write these things. It probably gives a name somewhere on the website, but I'm too lazy to find it now. |

There was one this week about a woman who called the sherrif because she was afraid she was being stalked by an ex, "but the sherriff felt that the suspect's attentions had probably moved on to his wife of thirteen years." Bruce Anderson is kind of infamous. He's totally crazy. |
