U.S. Senate candidate Evan McMullin says a man tried to force his vehicle into oncoming traffic and brandished a firearm at him and his wife after a campaign event.
Independent candidate for Utah's U.S. Senate race Evan McMullin in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022.Utah independent U.S. Senate hopeful Evan McMullin and his wife were allegedly threatened at gunpoint by a driver who followed their vehicle after an April campaign event, according to court documents obtained Saturday by The Salt Lake Tribune.
According to a victim impact statement that McMullin filed Wednesday, which is sealed in court records but was provided Saturday to The Tribune, the man “aggressively followed” McMullin and his wife while they were driving home to Utah County, at one point forcing the couple’s car into oncoming traffic.
In the impact statement, McMullin said that the man charged in this case “served for years as a military police officer” and in other law enforcement roles. McMullin also wrote that his campaign has taken additional security precautions due to the man’s “willingness to resort to violence as a manner of handling conflicts.”
