SALT LAKE CITY An attorney who police say fired a gun at a car in which his children were riding Friday evening is now out of a job with the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah, just days after he was hired.
The ACLU of Utah issued a brief statement Tuesday noting that attorney Aaron Kinikini is no longer employed at the chapter. The decision was made following Kinikini s arrest Friday evening, which happened a day after the ACLU of Utah announced Kinikini was hired as its new staff attorney.
Kinikini was arrested by Salt Lake City police on suspicion of aggravated assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child, criminal mischief, unlawful detention, and the unlawful discharge of a firearm. He remained in Salt Lake County Jail as of Monday, according to jail documents.
