A man was arrested in Utah County after police say he stabbed an officer several times, leading to an hours-long standoff.
A probable cause statement for the incident named 23-year-old Timothy Olesen, and said police were dispatched after a disagreement between him and his father in Genola on Thursday. When police arrived, Olesen’s father said nothing physical happened between them.
While on the scene, police were informed that Olesen had called 911 and told dispatch he cut himself and “wasn’t going to make it,” the statement said. That’s when police learned that Olesen was in an apartment next to his father’s home. When police went to make contact, the situation turned violent.
