CEDAR CITY – Jed Prisbrey
Imlay, 32, appeared for his initial hearing at the 5th District Court in Cedar
City on Tuesday. Imlay resigned from the Cedar City Police Department June 16
after being charged with driving under the influence while off duty – allegedly
with a child in the vehicle – and leaving the scene of an accident after
crashing in the parking lot of a little league baseball complex.
Imlay entered not guilty pleas
through his attorney, Douglas Terry, to charges of driving under the influence
of alcohol with a minor in the vehicle, a class-A misdemeanor, and leaving the
scene of an accident that involved property damage, a class-B misdemeanor.
Prosecution is being handled by
the Beaver County Attorney’s Office in order to avoid a conflict of interest
with Iron County.
A review hearing is set for
Aug. 12 at 9 a.m.
Persons arrested or charged are
presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law or as otherwise decided
by a trier-of-fact.
