Ron Gibson has resigned as the president of the Utah Farm Bureau.
Gibson was arrested Aug. 8 for investigation of assault and is also being investigated for human trafficking, according to court documents.
The Utah Farm Bureau released a statement Tuesday that said in part, "Utah Farm Bureau Federation was notified today of Ron Gibson's resignation from his position as president of the Utah Farm Bureau, effective immediately. Mr. Gibson had announced on Friday, August 11, that he was taking a leave of absence from the post."
According to a probable cause affidavit, Gibson was involved in a confrontation with an employee at a farm owned by Gibson. A man called 911 and stated he was assaulted by Gibson, his boss. The man also said that he and several of his co-workers were not being paid, claiming the crew had not received their past four paychecks from Gibson, police said. When the victim went to Gibson's farm to work, he confronted Gibson about not receiving payment.
An argument took place and resulted in Gibson telling him to "shut up" in Spanish and then backhanding him across the face.Weber County Sheriff's Lt. Colby Ryan said the investigation into the assault also brought to light "allegations of fraud and human trafficking, which are currently being thoroughly investigated by the Department of Public Safety's Special Bureau of Investigation.
