Officer under scrutiny: Outside party investigates MPD officer conduct in December incident


Moab City Police Officer Steve Risenhoover was placed on administrative duty last week while an investigation into his conduct during a December 2020 incident is ongoing.
Salt Lake City’s Fox 13 released body camera footage of Risenhoover’s response to a Dec. 21, 2020 call regarding suspected domestic violence at a Moab home. In the footage, Risenhoover interviews the couple whose arguments prompted the police call, and they separately report there was no physical altercation. Risenhoover later reaches into the jacket pocket of the man involved in the arguments, and finds ziplock baggies of methamphetamines.
On March 10, Deputy County Attorney Matthew Brooks submitted a motion to the Seventh District Court for the case against the subject to be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the same charges cannot be refiled. The motion notes “there are substantial discrepancies between the arresting officer’s report and bodycam footage.” The Moab Sun News submitted an open records request to the Moab Police Department for the incident report, which was denied. The formal response to the record request said the documents are considered a “Protected Record at this time.”
