Utah cops ignored a domestic violence call involving fellow officer — and laughed about their failure to help

A Utah police chief was fired after officers in his department declined to respond to a domestic violence call at a fellow officer’s home.

Kent Adair was placed on administrative leave last month, after questions swirled about the police response to a 911 call from the estranged wife of former Monticello police sergeant Cole Young, reported KUTV-TV.

Young’s estranged wife reported during the Dec. 2 call that her 36-year-old husband had attacked another man and was driving while drunk.

The dispatcher called each of the police department’s three officers, but each of them declined to respond to the domestic violence report.

The dispatcher finally called Adair, and recordings show she and the police chief laughed about officers’ refusal to investigate the report involving Young.
