ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) - A decision on whether to strip the badges of officers in a polygamist enclave has been put off while an investigation continues into allegations that their loyalty to a religious leader is above that to the law.
Utah's Peace Officer Standards and Training council voted Monday to table its three-month investigation into the Colorado City, Ariz., Town Marshal's office, which also patrols Hildale, Utah.
The investigation began after allegations surfaced that officers had ignored court orders, refused to cooperate in depositions and were more loyal to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints than their oath of office.
