Agency says Utah has suspended the licenses of two employees who were arrested earlier this month with Patriot Front members in Idaho.
Derek Evans, senior vice president at CBI Security, said the Utah Division of Occupational Licensing, or DOPL, notified him of the suspensions shortly after the arrests of Dakota R. Tabler, who began working for CBI in March, and Cameron K. Pruitt, who began working for CBI in April.“Our decision prior to DOPL suspending their license was to suspend them. So that’s what we did,” Evans said.
A third Patriot Front suspect from Utah, Nathaniel Whitfield, is also licensed as an unarmed security guard, according to an online state database. Neither he, Tabler nor Pruitt returned messages seeking comment.The suspensions would be some of the first fallout for those aligned with Patriot Front. Thirty-one members of the white supremacist group were arrested June 11 in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, near a Pride event.
“When I look at the co-provisions of good moral character,” Gunter said, “or not convicted of a misdemeanor or moral turpitude that applies to some of the owners of security companies, those are broad terms.” “I would be surprised if it’s a lifetime suspension,” Evans said. “Six months, if they’re convicted, that’s possible.”
