In October 2010, Chief Dan Johnson and his 15-year-old son were involved in a hunting incident where his son shot a deer on private property without permission. Johnson was charged with wanton destruction of wildlife, a class A misdemeanor. He pleaded guilty as part of a plea in abeyance, and the charge was later dismissed. The Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council suspended his police certification for 18 months. Johnson expressed frustration with the state’s hunting regulations and stated he would never hunt again. ([ksl.com](https://www.ksl.com/article/19693358?utm_source=openai))
