HEBER CITY, Utah-Monday, Heber City Police Chief Dave Booth returned to work following an independent review per a statement from Heber City Mayor Kelleen Potter.
Potter called claims against Booth, which resulted in him being placed on administrative leave, “baseless and without merit.”
Booth has since been cleared of all allegations and has returned to work.
Booth was placed on administrative leave pending a July investigation.
An internal complaint against Booth initiated the independent review by the Utah Department of Public Safety and the Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office.
Details of the complaint’s nature have not yet been released.
In a Monday statement, Potter said “He has earned admiration throughout Heber City and the Heber Valley as a competent, compassionate leader and is a substantive and contributing citizen.”
Potter continued, calling it a “privilege” that independent resources are available for an unbiased investigation to be performed.
