EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah â A 25-year-old man has been charged after confessing to the Utah County Sheriff s Office that he took trash from several Eagle Mountain residents and left it on private property instead of at the dump.
Justin Persinger was charged with illegal dumping and theft by deception. Both charges are misdemeanors.
A 21-year-old skier survived being buried up to the neck in an off-terrain avalanche at Sundance Mountain Resort on Saturday afternoon, police say. His ski came off and he slid under a rope into what Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff's Office described as clearly marked and closed off terrain. Once he was in the roped-off area, Cannon said, an avalanche came down on him, burying him up to the neck.
3 stranded hikers rescued from Mount Timpanogos
Three hikers were rescued from Mount Timpanogos in Utah County Monday night.
The men left from Battle Creek trailhead to hike up to the saddle area, just north of the summit, according to Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff s Office.
As they were coming down the west side of the mountain, they ran into treacherous terrain and nearby cliffs.
Temperatures dropped and the hiker s phone batteries ran low. They had 11% battery, just enough to call a friend who informed the Utah County Sheriff s Office Search and Rescue about their condition.
A Department of Public Safety helicopter dropped a care package with hand warmers and a two-way radio to keep in contact with rescuers. They were told to stay put while crews called in helicopters for a hoist.
