FOX 13 Investigates: Police chief in small Utah town believes he was fired for writing mayor’s son a ticket, not use of force
MORONI, Utah — The FOX 13 Investigates team has learned new information about the sudden firing of the Moroni City police chief, just a few weeks ago.
In an interview with FOX 13 News, Martinez said she had a panic attack before the meeting and tried to calm herself down as best as possible before entering city hall. The city said there was no body camera video or surveillance video of the incident, due to a “power surge” from earlier that month damaging the technology.“I put my hand on her elbow. She pulled back and started swinging at me,” Hill described. “The force that was used was deemed appropriate, and that was the end of it.”“But now that I’ve had another allegation with another female,” Bailey said, “...it makes me question what really happened.
FOX 13 News obtained copies of video interviews conducted by Bailey as part of an internal affairs investigation.“No,” Hill responded. “She got out of the vehicle on her own.”In both cases, the women had their husbands on speaker phone during the arrests.“I’m assuming she had a panic attack or some kind of anxiety attack, and she turned around and made a dash back for the driver’s seat,” Hill said. “She said, ‘I’m not going. I’m not going,’ and tried to get back into the driver’s seat.
Again, there was no body camera video recorded in February because the city says it never replaced computers or body cameras after the October 2021 power surge. In an effort to confirm or deny the validity of Hill’s story, to see if there might be a pattern, FOX 13 News spoke with other law enforcement officers who have also pulled over Bailey’s son.
After his termination, Hill said he felt Bailey’s investigation into the Strobel arrest was unfair and incomplete because Bailey did not interview witnesses. “He was terminated at my discretion,” Bailey said. “If he would have gave me names and numbers, I would have definitely got ahold of them... I felt it was the right decision, and I would do it again.”However, FOX 13 News was able to speak with two additional drivers who described observing portions of the incident.
