More than three years after an LDS missionary was assaulted in Payson, two men have been charged with federal hate crime offenses.
Nathan Thomas, 22, and Sebastian West, 22, both residents of Payson, were charged in connection with the attack.
In February 2020, Fox 13 News reported that a Black Panamanian missionary was with his partner on their way to teach a family in their home when individuals wearing dark hoodies and red bandanas approached them. The suspects allegedly mocked and taunted the missionary before physically attacking him, punching him in the head and face, court documents reported in 2020.
During the entire assault, the suspects did not target the missionary’s partner who was identified as Caucasian. An investigation began to determine if the attack was racially motivated.
