A case against the city of Hyde Park stemming from a firearm incident in 2018 will not move forward in federal court.
After a hearing on Thursday, Judge Bruce Jenkins dismissed the case due to a lack of jurisdiction in the United States District Court, but allowed room for the former employees to refile certain claims in a state court.
In January 2019, two former Hyde Park employees Justin Bodrero and Kolby Christiansen filed grievances with the city, stating Director of Public Works Mike Grunig pointed a handgun with a laser sight at the men. Documents filed with the court state Grunig claimed “he was joking around while showing his friends his gun’s laser sight,” while the plaintiffs held a different view on the incident.

Teachers and staff at Logan and Cache County’s school districts were able to sign up to receive their first doses of COVID-19 vaccinations this week.
“It’s a huge relief,” said Jessica Littlefield, a fourth-grade teacher at Cedar Ridge Elementary. “This was pretty exciting.”
Sky View High School’s Kaye Dawn Falslev said this is hands-down the hardest year she’s ever experienced in her 34-year career.
“From the time we went back to school until about Christmas break, it was brutal,” she said. “It was absolutely brutal. And it’s only slightly better as you move through it as you get a few more things, you know, online and that sort of thing.”
