A woman was arrested for allegedly assaulting the Orem mayor Tuesday after the mayor went on a 20-minute rant disparaging a reporter, the woman's mother, and news reports about the city.
OREM — The daughter of a newspaper reporter was arrested Tuesday and accused of assaulting Orem Mayor David Young after a City Council meeting in which Young ranted for 20 minutes about news articles and repeatedly disparaged the reporter.
Pugmire was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of assault, disorderly conduct, propelling a bodily substance and threatening elected officials. In a YouTube recording of the City Council meeting, Young spent about 20 minutes pointing out several Daily Herald articles, complaining about headlines, the placement of stories, as well as questioning the news value and reporting in "off the rails articles," at times offering other topics that could have been reported that would be more complimentary.
"It's just mind blowing the disconnect. What's going on in this newspaper versus what's going on in reality?" he said. Yet the mayor went on to say that the reporter had actually reached out to him for comment on Thursday, but he didn't notice until Friday afternoon after he had been hiking.
