The Salt Lake Police Department is defending itself in the case of the man accused of a string of hit-and-runs in the city and questions about why Ahn Pham wasn’t arrested after the initial hit-and-run last August.

A department spokesman told KSL TV that the case was investigated as an aggravated assault. But, it was determined that there wasn’t enough probable cause to arrest Pham, despite having a license plate number, a victim, and two witness accounts of what happened.

    Salt Lake Spokesman Brent Weisberg said that after the accident, they put out “an attempt to locate” call to every other police agency in Salt Lake County for Pham, they also had his license plate.

    Weisberg said that no information ever came back from the attempt to locate. However, Weisberg couldn’t say if detectives ever went looking for Pham.

    Lazy bastards didn’t even bother going to look for him after the initial incident in Aug. 2023 … so the dude did almost the same thing another 5 times.

    Make it make sense. :S

    As always, ACAB.

      Although I have to admit I’m surprised that Utah cops didn’t immediately throw this non-white guy in jail.

        Racism vs laziness. It’s like an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. They would need to fill an entire form.

          But can’t they just get out the stamp that says “Not White” on it. Saves so much writing
