COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS Police are asking for the public s help in finding a man who they say used racial and homophobic slurs inside an Asian-owned business in Cottonwood Heights.
About noon Wednesday, a man went into Ace Alterations, 6927 S. 1300 East, to inquire about getting a button fixed on a piece of clothing.
When the owner, an Asian woman, told the man that the button did not need to be repaired, the man became extremely angry and started yelling racial and homophobic slurs, said Cottonwood Heights Police Sgt. JD Tazoi. The man then made verbal threats against a customer, a white man, who tried to help the store owner, and then threatened to slash the tires of both the business owner and the customer.

SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police is urging leaders in Cottonwood Heights to discipline a city councilwoman who confronted officers at a protest that ended in violence last year.
Ian Adams, the union s executive director, alleges Tali Bruce continued to wade into ongoing assaults on officers and interfere with their ability to defend themselves and make arrests at the Aug. 2 march. Her continued membership of your council is an embarrassment to the entire state, Adams wrote in a Wednesday letter addressed to the city council.
A day earlier, the Utah Attorney General s Office released a report backing how officers handled demonstration. Investigators in the office found police did not use excessive force and acted appropriately, but said the city s police department could have planned better when it came to coordinating with other agencies and communicating with organizers of the demonstration.
