Labor Day Arrest Following Series of Serious Incidents

Over the Labor Day Weekend, a Utah man was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault and Battery, Reckless Endangering, Reckless Driving, and Duty to Report Upon Colliding With Unattended Vehicle or Property following a series of incidents. Sweetwater County Sheriff Rich Haskell said Deputy Sheriff Matt Rushing responded at about 6:35 PM on September 4th to a Red Cliff Circle address just north of the Utah-Wyoming border.
 
Witnesses say that Jeffrey Charles Kirk, 33, of Murray, Utah, had been arguing with his mother, Marilyn Byrd, who has a cabin in the area, when he allegedly threatened to kill her, and pointed a gun at her. Detective Dick Blust with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office says that in addition, Kirk had been driving recklessly in the area, threatened neighbors, threatened suicide, drove into a residential fence, and fired several shots with a handgun into the air and at his own pickup.






Kirk remains in custody at the Sweetwater County Detention Center in lieu of a $50,000 cash or surety bond.
