SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Two Utah peace officers have been suspended without pay over a risque video shoot featuring bikini-clad women firing high-powered weapons.
The Utah Department of Public Safety imposed the discipline in December on Rob Wilkinson, a Utah Highway Patrol sergeant, and Justin Hansen, a State Bureau of Investigation agent.
The department released its discipline records last week after receiving a request to obtain them by The Salt Lake Tribune.
Wilkinson, who received a three-day suspension, and Hansen, who received a one-day suspension, were at the Big Shot Ranch near Grantsville in June when British bikini models posed for photos and were videotaped firing guns for a calendar.
Among other violations, the records show the two were disciplined for conduct that brings discredit to an officer or agency.
