religion, that they do not foster an excessive government entanglement with religion or

endorse one religion over another, and they do not coerce people to support or participate

that the Defendants have a secular purpose, that they do not have the principal or primary

Greg Meyer

10

Greg Meyer is an expert witness who will offer expert opinions (both affirmative

11

and in rebuttal to the United States police practice expert) regarding the conduct of the

12

Marshals Department and its officers. He is expected to testify about his education,

13

training, experience, and qualifications to offer expert opinions.

14

Qualifications, attached as Exhibit 1. He is also expected to testify about the documents

15

he reviewed, his interview with Ken Brendel, and other work he completed during his

16

analysis in this case.

17
18
19

See Statement of

Mr. Meyer is further expected to testify consistent with his expert opinions
disclosed to the United States, including the following affirmative expert opinions:
(1)

It is proper for the officers to follow the advice of Ken Brendel, the

20

Prosecutor. Mr. Brendel generally advised handling property disputes involving the UEP

21

Trust as civil matters, and it is proper for police officers to follow the advice of

22

prosecutors. Also, the testimony of Mohave County Sheriffs Department Sergeant Mike

23

Hoggard indicates that Mohave County Sheriffs Department handles UEP property

24

disputes in the same manner as Colorado City Prosecutor Kenneth Brendel has advised

25

the CCMO to handle such disputes; and Sergeant Hoggard would not fault CCMO for

26

handling property disputes in that manner, which he believes is an appropriate manner. In

27

addition, staff of the Office of the Attorney General (Utah) documented that UEP Trust

28

Occupancy Agreements do not have the force of eviction orders.


46

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 47 of 61

(2)

The CCMOs Policies and Procedures Manual was adequate, and it was

updated several times from 1989 through at least 2011. The manual quotes from the "Law

Enforcement Code of Ethics" that has been used in many places in the United States for

many years. The 2007 CCMO policies repeatedly emphasized the need for professional

police conduct, to avoid conflicts of interest, and to maintain an impartial attitude. In

particular, Section 2.6 under "Rules of Conduct" directed, "Use of profane, demeaning, or

insulting language will not be tolerated, nor will disrespect for the political or religious

views of others be accepted." Section 3.4 directed that personnel must cooperate with

other agencies. Section 4.1 directed that employees will not interfere with the lawful

10

business of any person. Section 4.2 directed that personnel may not use their official

11

positions to intimidate persons engaged in a civil controversy. And Section 3.01 directed

12

that the selection and placement of agency personnel are to be based upon Equal

13

Employment 0pportunity provisions.

14

(3)

Police officers have a duty to report and investigate crimes that they become

15

aware of. It is part and parcel of any police officers duty to do this. Chief Helaman

16

Barlow acknowledged this duty. Colorado City Prosecutor Kenneth Brendel stated that he

17

told CCMO officers that if they witnessed criminal activity, they should take appropriate

18

enforcement action (which would result in submission of paperwork to Mr. Brendel's

19

office for consideration of whether charges should be brought). This conduct was proper.

20

(4)

No documented evidence exists to show any discrimination by CCMO

21

officers. No language in any of the reports provided a "red flag" that indicated that

22

discrimination was or may have been occurring.

23

(5)

CCMO police officers appear to have provided police services to witness

24

Jesseca Jessop without discrimination against her. Ms. Jessop testified that she had no

25

problem with the way the CCM0 police officers handled 10 of the 12 matters in which she

26

interacted with them. She disputed the CCMO handling of two of those matters. The first

27

is a property occupancy dispute with Penny Barlow. She recalled that Deputy Hyrum

28

Roundy advised her to go to court to get an eviction order, and Deputy Roundy provided
47

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 48 of 61

her with a witness statement form. However, she faults Deputy Roundy for not doing his

job because he did not arrest Penny Barlow for trespass on the basis of occupancy

agreement paperwork without an eviction order from the court. She testified that she was

unaware that Deputy Roundy submitted the case to the Prosecutor, who rejected it as a

civil matter. There appears to be a conflict between a court order that Judge Lindberg

made regarding how occupancy agreement paperwork is to be considered during property

occupancy disputes, and the advice of the Prosecutor to treat such disputes as civil

matters, along with CCMO training or direction to gather the information from parties in

the dispute and submit it to the city prosecutor for enforcement advice and decisions. It is

10

appropriate for police officers to handle matters in the manner advised by the Prosecutor.

11

Second, Jesseca Jessop testified about an incident where she and her husband had rented a

12

house from Genevieve Hainline, but there was a trespasser (Enrique LeBaron) on the

13

properly. She called the police. LeBaron was arrested. She testified that she had no

14

problem with the way CCMO Deputy Hyrum Roundy and Officer Curtis Cooke and

15

Sergeant Sam Johnson handled the matter. She also testified that she asked that the

16

investigation be turned over to the Mohave County Sheriff s Office (because she thought

17

Officer Cooke had somehow "mistreated" LeBaron), and that the CCMO personnel did

18

turn the investigation over to Mohave County. Overall, not all incidents were handled in

19

the way that Jesseca Jessop personally desired, but the vast majority of them were; and

20

even the incidents that were not handled in the way that she personally desired do not give

21

rise to a conclusion that there was discrimination against her, absent proof of

22

discrimination.

23

(6)

No evidence exists to supports the allegation that the Marshal's Office

24

carried out Warren Jeffs' order to return an underage bride. This allegation apparently

25

involves Ruby Jessop, who testified that Sam Roundy came up to Canada with Willie

26

Jessop to bring her back. However, no evidence exists that any CCMO personnel acted in

27

an on-duty capacity or used CCMO resources in this matter.

28
48

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 49 of 61

(7)

CCMO police officers appear to have provided police services to witness

Stefanie Colgrove without discrimination against her. She testified that Officer Curtis

Cooke responded to her call about a group of people outside the fence in front of her

property. She wanted the people to leave. Officer Cooke talked to a member of the group

(John Nielson), and the group left. However, she thought Officer Cooke treated her like

she was making something out of nothing. She testified that in 2009 she reported to

Officer Helaman Barlow acts of vandalism to the library. Helaman Barlow investigated,

including taking pictures of damage and footprints. She testified that on April 1 6, 2011,

there was a "huge bonfire" outside the library. She testified that she wrote two versions of

10

her witness statement because part of her first witness statement was not true. She

11

testified that Officer Sam Johnson was unwilling to help with the library investigation.

12

She testified that Officer Sam Johnson assisted her and protected her property from a

13

neighbor boy who had pilfered some items. No evidence of any discrimination exists.

14

(8)

The arrest of Genevive Hainline Stubbs appears to have been lawful. Police

15

officers are taught that probable cause is a strong, reasonable belief that a person has

16

committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. During a property occupancy

17

dispute (during which CCMO personnel advise that the matter is civil and handles it

18

according to the standing legal advice given by the Prosecutor), she ignored police

19

commands and the direction of her own friends not to go on the property. The police

20

verbally and clearly announced the arrest. She actively resisted arrest. She was taken to

21

the ground using soft-hand controls only, and she was handcuffed. She admitted that she

22

resisted arrest and stated, "l fought them for a while. No evidence of any discrimination

23

exists.

24

(9)

If Helaman Barlow were acting on the advice of the Prosecutor to handle

25

UEP Trust property disputes such as the Berry Knoll Farms dispute as civil matters, it was

26

reasonable police action. Helaman Barlow testified that he told Mayor Terrill Johnson

27

that the Berry Knoll Farms dispute was civil, per the direction of the Prosecutor. Sally

28

Stubbs was not satisfied with the police service on this occasion. She testified that she did
49

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 50 of 61

not remember hearing from Helaman Barlow stating that it was a civil matter. Also, the

testimony of Mohave County Sheriffs Department Sergeant Mike Hoggard indicates that

Mohave County Sheriff's Department handles UEP property disputes in the same manner

as Colorado City Prosecutor Kenneth Brendel has advised CCMO to handle such disputes;

and Sergeant Hoggard would not fault CCMO for handling property disputes in that

manner, which he believes is an appropriate manner. In the case of the Berry Knoll Farms

dispute, Sergeant Hoggard testified that he assessed that both parties in the dispute had

been violating parts of the related court order, and that clarification of the court order was

needed. Sergeant Hoggard also testified that he has no idea if Helaman Barlow's decision

10
11

to handle the dispute was religiously motivated.


(10)

Although Sally Stubbs disagreed with receiving a reckless driving citation

12

from CCMO Officer Jerry Darger, she did not believe that it was based on some type of

13

religious discrimination.

14

(11)

Marshal Fred Barlow's letter in October 2005 to federal fugitive Warren

15

Jeffs was improper and unprofessional. The letter openly states that Marshal Fred Barlow

16

intends to do and is doing the bidding of Warren Jeffs (FLDS leader and federal fugitive).

17

It also states that all of the officers desire "to stand with you and the priesthood" (but all of

18

the officers have testified that they did not engage in discriminatory law enforcement

19

practices).

20

(12)

If there were threats against the church and individuals, and disruptions at

21

the church, it was proper for the CCMO to respond to church security requests for law

22

enforcement intervention. It is part and parcel of a police officer's job to respond to

23

threats and disruption, regardless of the source or target.

24

(13)

If, as claimed by Willie Jessop, there was "a very heavy interaction between

25

church security and law enforcement," this may well have been appropriate as long as law

26

enforcement was acting in its proper role (and not "being hijacked to do policing for the

27

church"). It is ludicrous for anyone to suggest that there should be no interaction between

28
50

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 51 of 61

law enforcement agencies and private security interests in the community. Such

interaction is a basic tenet of community-based policing.

(14)

There is not enough information in the record to determine the propriety or

impropriety of "a number of cases" where Willie Jessop testified that Chief Sam Roundy

would forward police investigation information or license plate information to church

security, because the reasons these things occurred (if they occurred) and the necessary

specifics are not in the record.

8
9
10
11

(15)

If Sam Johnson left the FLDS Church but was still promoted to Sergeant,

and was next in line to be Chief of Police [and as of March 18,2014 was the Acting Chief
of Police], this is evidence that the FLDS Church is not in control of CCMO, as alleged.
(16)

If Helaman Barlow "ran" license plates or NCIC checks at the request of

12

Willie Jessop or anyone else without an official purpose, this would be inappropriate and

13

unprofessional. Helaman Barlow admitted that he ran license plates (i.e., used the police

14

computer to obtain information about vehicles/license plates/registrations/warrants) at the

15

request of Willie Jessop 10 or 20 times. However, the purpose of doing so was not made

16

clear in the documentation. He denied running NCIC checks for non-law-enforcement

17

persons. He did not recall if Guy Timpson ever asked him to run a license plate. He did

18

not know (or recall) if anyone from the FLDS meeting house asked him or any deputies to

19

run license plates. Helaman Barlow's various testimonies (via depositions and court

20

testimony) are also full of inconsistencies.

21

(17)

No evidence exists to conclude that CCMO personnel were involved in

22

carrying out an FLDS Church edict by rounding up domestic dogs and shooting them.

23

Steven Bateman testified about this issue during his deposition. While he believes that it

24

happened, he testified that he has no proof that CCMO personnel were involved in the

25

destruction of dogs.

26

(18)

Mohave County Sheriff's Sergeant Mike Hoggard and Washington County

27

Sheriff Deputy Darrell Cashin (who both had routine interaction with CCMO personnel)

28

testified that the CCMO was generally cooperative with their investigations. Mohave
51

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 52 of 61

County Sheriffs Sergeant Hoggard testified that he could not think of any instances

where the CCMO was not cooperative.

testified that most of the time he agreed with the CCMO officers' assessments as to

whether a property-occupancy dispute was civil when non-FDLS people would call him.

He also testified that CCMO has been helpful to him.

(19)

Washington County Deputy Sheriff Cashin

Hyrum Roundy testified that he participated in the building of a fence, but

no evidence exists that he knew that the property was occupied illegally or that the

activity had a nexus to his job with CCMO.

(20)

If Sergeant Sam Johnson contacted the Washington County Attorney's

10

office for advice in handling the Holm School property dispute, and the Washington

11

County Attorney's office advised Sergeant Johnson to handle it as a civil matter, then

12

Sergeant Johnson performed his duty properly. Hyrum Roundy testified that he left the

13

Holm School property dispute before the call was completed because he did not want any

14

part of what he believed was mishandling by the sheriffs. UEP Trust Fiduciary Bruce

15

Wisan wrote to Hildale City Mayor Zitting that, "Police Officers from the County and the

16

Marshal's Office agreed that Richard [Holm] would have to get a court ordered eviction

17

notice..." Richard Holm testified that Jonathan Roundy and Sam Johnson came to Holm's

18

property, asked FLDS men to leave, and they did. Later, the FLDS men returned and

19

began digging holes and installing fences, and Sam Johnson responded and told them to

20

stop.

21

(21)

If Prosecutor Kenneth Brendel instructed CCMO Officer Curtis Cooke to

22

arrest Jerrold Williams if Williams did not leave the property he was allegedly trespassing

23

on, and if Williams did not leave the property despite lawful direction to do so, it was

24

reasonable for Officer Cooke to make that arrest, and any reasonable officer would have

25

done the same thing.

26
27

(22)

No evidence supports the allegation that the Marshal's Office has seized the

property of non-FLDS individuals without due process of law.

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 53 of 61

Mr. Meyer is further expected to testify consistent with his rebuttal expert opinions

disclosed to the United States, including the following expert opinions to rebut Joseph

DeLopezs expert opinions:

(1)

The United States expert makes repeated references to the wording of

CCMO policy and concludes that it provides officers "plausible deniability." However,

the United States expert uses Helaman Barlow as his source, and because of Helamans

ever-changing testimony, it is not reasonable to rely upon him to support any opinions.

8
9

(2)

Basic academy, POST-certified training does not appear to be at issue. The

United States expert is concerned about in-service training.

But, as the expert

10

acknowledged: "Neither POST agency has found CCMO out of compliance with this

11

requirement." While everyone might wish that more hours of ln-service training on more

12

subjects were provided over and above POST requirements, the fact is that training is

13

expensive, and it costs patrol time out of the field. It is traditionally difficult (especially

14

with small departments) to have the luxury to have both the money and the time to do as

15

much extra training as an agency might like to do. The fact that the CCMO was in

16

compliance with in-service training requirements in the view of POST from both Utah and

17

Arizona negates the United States expert's criticism. The United States expert also

18

repeatedly refers to standards proffered by the Commission on Accreditation for Law

19

Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

20

18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States are accredited by CALEA. The two

21

agencies that employed the United States expert (Chicago and Winnetka, IL) are not

22

accredited by CALEA. And not a single one of the many dozens of law enforcement

23

agencies of the United States federal government is accredited by CALEA.

24

(3)

However, less than 4 percent of the approximate

Where there is an investigation about a matter, and the original reports were

25

not comprehensive enough to answer later questions, it is proper for an officer to write a

26

supplemental report. The arrest of Harvey Dockstader was appropriate. The CCMO also

27

appropriately handled the Eco Alliance / 340 Johnson Avenue incident. The counsel of

28

the Colorado City Prosecutor's Office is also wise, i.e., that arrests do not need to be made
53

Case 3:12-cv-08123-HRH Document 770 Filed 11/12/15 Page 54 of 61

immediately, and that it is sometimes better to wait until all of the various reports are

finished so that the totality of the case can be evaluated prior to a decision to prosecute or

not.

(4)

The 2007 CCMO Law Enforcement Policy and Procedures manual contains

specific anti-discrimination language.

accordingly.

system.

(5)

It is incumbent upon the department to act

And any police agency should have a valid, nondiscriminatory hiring

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics,

"About half of local police departments employed fewer than 10 sworn personnel." The

10

CCMO employs fewer than 10. It is difficult to understand the United States expert's

11

opinions about supervision ratios. There are police departments in this country that have

12

only two or three officers.

13

supervision ratios like Chicago or Winnetka, IL. It is quite the norm with small agencies

14

for supervisors and chiefs and even other officers to be contacted in the off-hours as needs

15

arise.

Not every agency has the luxury of deploying better

Jeremiah Darger
Jeremiah Darger serves as the Hildale/Colorado City Chief Marshal.

He is

19

expected to testify regarding his knowledge of the allegations in the Complaint regarding

20

unlawful policing, along with any other related issues. He is also expected to offer

21

testimony that will contest Charlene Jeffs testimony. He is expected to testify that the

22

Defendants have a secular purpose, that they do not have the principal or primary effect of

23

advancing or inhibiting religion, that they do not foster an excessive government

24

entanglement with religion or endorse one religion over another, and they do not coerce

25

people to support or participate in religion, or exercise or otherwise act in a way that

26

establishes a state religion or tends to do so. He is also expected to testify that Defendants

27

do not engage in unreasonable seizures, including traditional arrests without probable

28

cause of a crime, brief investigatory stops without suspicion of criminal activity, or use of
54

excessive force.

unequally compared to other similarly situated individuals, they have not acted or failed to

act with the intent or purpose to discriminate based upon religion, and that religion is not a

motivating factor for Defendants actions or inaction. He is also expected to testify that

Defendants have not engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination, they have not

denied FHA rights to a group of persons, including non-FLDS members, they have not

attempted to make housing unavailable or deny housing opportunities to any person,

discriminated in the terms, conditions, or privileges in the sale or rental of a building or

the provision of services or facilities in connection therewith, and they have not coerced,

10

intimidated, threatened, or interfered with any person in the exercise or enjoyment of, or

11

on account of that person exercising or encouraging others to exercise FHA rights, and

12

that religion is not a motivating factor for Defendants. Specifically, his testimony is

13

expected to conform with his deposition testimony and will include, but not be limited to,

14

incidents he was involved in as a CCMO officer that the Plaintiff has identified as relevant

15

to its claims, how he became an officer at the CCMO, his training and certification as an

16

officer, that he is not directed by the FLDS Church in his official duties, that he does not

17

share law enforcement information with the FLDS, his interactions with FLDS Church

18

security, his communication with FLDS leaders regarding City business, his FLDS

19

membership status, the organization and policies of the CCMO, the CCMOs handling of

20

property disputes, and his interactions and cooperation with other agencies.

He is also expected to testify that Defendants do not treat people
