SCSO: On March 16th, 2022, a Toyota Rav4 was broken into at the Canyons Village. A DeWalt power drill and saw were taken from the vehicle, along with a brown wallet that contained a Utah State driver license, Zions Bank card and an Insta Card. The complainant did not make a report until March 21 as he needed a case number in order to file a report with his bank. There is no suspect information at this time.

SCSO: Deputies responded to an unconscious subject inside a vehicle that was located in the center median on I-80 in Parley’s Canyon. While on scene, it was determined that the driver and sole occupant was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and refused FST’s. The 25-year-old Park City man was transported SCSO for further investigation and booked in for suspicion of DUI.
