As always, please let us know what questions you have! We don’t have all the answers, but we’ll do our best.

• Utah has recorded its fifth death from the coronavirus, and has 887 confirmed cases, the Health Department announced Tuesday. There have been 18,513 tests and 73 hospitalizations.
• A Utah defense attorney said Monday that her client tested positive for the coronavirus less than a day after he was released from a Salt Lake County jail facility.
• Intermountain Healthcare — the largest medical provider in the state — will cut pay for physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
• Utah’s largest physicians network on Friday disseminated a recommendation — purportedly from state health officials — that doctors prescribe an unproven malaria medication for coronavirus, then rescinded it a day later amid pushback from infectious disease specialists.
• It’s unclear whether Utah hospitals are likely to become overwhelmed by seriously ill people as coronavirus infections spread throughout the state.
• A second Latter-day Saint missionary has tested positive for COVID-19, and more young proselytizers are expected to do so.
• We asked Rep. Ben McAdams what it was like to find out he was infected with coronavirus, the impacts on his health and efforts by the federal government to address the pandemic. Here's what he told us.
• Shortly after Gov. Gary Herbert asked Utahns to immediately begin staying home to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall issued a similar directive to residents in the capital city. Then Salt Lake County issued its version of a stay-at-home order, directing all individuals to limit their trips outside to only “essential activities."
• Utah’s medical cannabis pharmacies are considered essential and should remain open through the coronavirus pandemic
• Utah tenants will get coronavirus aid, but not in time for the next rent day.
• Our photographers found out what Utah streets look like when everyone stays home. (It’s eerie.)
• Our reporter analyzed the coronavirus numbers in Summit County. Here’s what he found.
• All of YWCA’s services for domestic violence victims are open, including walk-up services out of the Family Justice Center in downtown Salt Lake City.
• With ridership down by 65% because of coronavirus restrictions, the Utah Transit Authority will cut its bus, train and commuter-only services significantly beginning on April 5.
• Utah truckers say they’re being treated like heroes during the coronavirus pandemic. But it isn’t all clear roads and free doughnuts — many are worried about layoffs and increased driving hours.
• Salt Lake City is changing its parking rules in this crisis once again and now won’t enforce time limits at its parking meters until further notice.
• Congress and the president passed a $2.2 trillion rescue package Friday, tossing a life preserver to a U.S. economy and health care system. Here’s what it means for you.
• All public K-12 schools in Utah are dismissed until May 1.
• School buses are delivering food and homework to Utah students in rural communities.
• If you need child care services, the state will provide a one-stop portal for parents to connect parents who are considered essential employees with child-care resources. If you’re a first responder, the Utah Fraternal Order of Police can help. Also, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake will now offer all-day preschool services. Here are some other options.
• All Utah jury trials are on hold at least until June 1. Here are the other ways coronavirus is changing Utah’s justice system.
• The Salt Lake County Animal Shelter has halted all adoptions.
• Missing the arts? Here is a sampling of what Utah arts organizations are doing to bring content to their audiences online — including Plan B’s latest play.
• And here’s how you can enjoy and help Utah’s bookstores.
• Here’s a list of restaurants and food trucks that are still open for business. More than a dozen Salt Lake City restaurant owners, however, have sent letters to Gov. Gary Herbert arguing that the “stay home” directive he issued last week doesn’t go far enough to protect their businesses.
• Need to go grocery shopping? Here’s how to do it safely.
• More helpful links:
  • The Utah Department of Health holds a daily briefing on coronavirus in the state. Watch them here.
  • Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox is hosting “bookside chats” on Twitter. Watch them here.

Read the article here: https://www.nationofchange.org/2020/09/18/utah-police-officer-charged-with-assault-after-ordering-k-9-to-bite-man-on-video/
Suspended this summer after police body cam video was released to the public depicting a Salt Lake City police officer repeatedly ordering his K-9 to bite a kneeling man with his hands in the air, the officer was recently charged with second degree felony assault.
On April 24, Salt Lake City police officers responded to a call concerning a domestic argument at the home of Jeffery Ryans. According to police body cam video, Ryans was standing in his backyard smoking a cigarette when the officers approached him for violating a protective order filed by his wife last December.
In the video, Salt Lake City Police Officer Nickolas Pearce ordered Ryans to get on the ground. Despite the fact that Ryans was complying and did not appear to resist, Pearce repeatedly ordered his police dog to bite Ryans’ left leg for no justifiable reason.
Ryans reportedly suffered nerve and tendon damage, infections, and has difficulty walking due to the multiple dog bites on his left leg. Doctors have not ruled out the possibility he will need to have his leg amputated, and he has gone through several surgeries in an attempt to repair the leg.
In August, Pearce was suspended from the Salt Lake City Police Department for his actions during the arrest. On Wednesday, Salt Lake County District Sim Gill announced that his office has charged Pearce with second degree felony assault because Ryans “wasn’t resisting arrest.”
In a statement to The Salt Lake Tribune, Gill said, “He certainly wasn’t posing an imminent threat of violence or harm to anyone and he certainly wasn’t concealed. He was fenced in an area and was being compliant.”
On Wednesday, the Salt Lake City Police Department issued the following statement: “The department takes the District Attorney’s decision and the Civilian Review Board’s findings very seriously. Both will be evaluated and taken into account as the department is finalizing its Internal Affairs investigation.
“If Internal Affairs finds that Officer Pearce committed a policy violation, the chief’s office will follow the disciplinary process required under state and federal law. This can take some time, but we will carry this out as expediently as possible to bring a prompt conclusion to this matter.”
“As a result of this case, SLCPD’s use of the K-9 bite program continues to be suspended pending the outcome of policy and procedure reviews by both the department and the Commission on Racial Equity in Policing,” Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said in a recent statement. “In addition, reforms requiring more thorough reporting and review of uses of force have gone into effect, which I believe would have ensured that this incident was handled when it should have been last April.”
If convicted, Pearce could face up to 15 years in prison.
