Charges are dropped in Salt Lake hotel-room assault
Barry Dewayne Higbee, 46, of West Valley City, was charged in 3rd District Court last year with aggravated sexual assault and two counts of aggravated burglary, all first-degree felonies, along with forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony.
However, prosecutors last week asked 3rd District Judge Paul Maughan to dismiss the charges due to "some issues" involving a witness, according to Alicia Cook, spokesperson for the Salt Lake District Attorney's Office. Cook did not elaborate on what those issues were and said there is a chance that the district attorney's office could refile charges in the future.
