The Jefferson County sheriff calls recent public statements by Pleasant Grove police a “character assassination” and said he believes politics is coming into play. Pleasant Grove police Capt. Danny Reid refutes some of what Sheriff Mark Pettway said.
Sheriff Mark Pettway on Tuesday held a news conference to refute allegations against his office, claiming they received erroneous reports of a hostage situation and then offered to use their negotiators to peacefully talk out the barricaded burglary suspect rather than “kick in’' the front door which he said Pleasant Grove police officials requested.
Following the press conference, Pleasant Grove police Capt. Danny Reid refuted some of what Pettway said. The ordeal began last Wednesday when Pleasant Grove police responded to a burglary after a citizen called to report a man – later identified asAn officer made contact with Miles but was unable to safely apprehend him before Miles ran into his own house, locking himself inside. As back-up units arrived on scene, a perimeter was set up and detectives immediately went to work on a search warrant.Jefferson County’s SWAT team and helicopter Star 1 responded to the scene.
“Once Pleasant Grove refused the services offered by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, excess personnel were released from the scene,’’ according to a sheriff’s office written statement. “Two SWAT commanders and two negotiators remained at the scene until the replacement agency requested by Pleasant Grove Police arrived on the scene.”
“We told them we needed help conducting a search warrant, ‘’ Reid said. “We told them exactly what it was. This whole yelling out ‘hostage,’ never did that come out of our mouths.”
