Bailey is charged with a class B misdemeanor for giving a false report to police. A year later, Bailey accepts a plea deal. He resigns in 2005.

• January 2006 — Mayor Brian Olsen resigns from the Utah Highway Patrol while being investigated for lying about receiving a master's degree from Brigham Young University.
