Washington County sheriff’s on-and-off investigation of a gun-toting, machete-wielding Ivins man who is allegedly threatening hikers walking their dogs off-leash on area trails is back on again.
This cell phone photograph shows an unidentified man brandishing a firearm and machete on a hike near Santa Clara, Dec. 5, 2022. Turner and others allege the man is harassing hikers with unleashed dogs.
In deciding to reopen the case, Hafoka said sheriff’s investigators would still be doing the actual investigating, but the Washington County Attorney’s Office would be reviewing the case to determine if the current evidence supports bringing charges. After Turner met with two sheriff’s deputies the following day and subsequently provided them with additional leads, she said she never heard from them again. Others walking their dogs off-leash on BLM lands in the Red Cliffs Reserve have also reported being verbally abused and threatened by the Ivins man, but said they haven’t been contacted by sheriff’s investigators.
Last June, the man allegedly wielded a machete and threatened a dog owner whose pets were off-leash in the Wyoming community and only backed down and walked away after a neighbor of the dog owner retrieved a gun and told him to “drop [the machete],” according to reports compiled by Star Valley Ranch special municipal officer Jim Rogers. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office also investigated the incident but didn’t bring charges.
