Forget Mayberry — Some rural Utah cops more like bullies with a badge

Rural Utah legislators and some members of the state's congressional delegation have waged a campaign against federal agents in charge of patrolling Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service lands, claiming county sheriffs should be the law enforcement authority.

But recent incidents around Utah's outback might make residents and tourists a little squeamish about putting more power into the hands of sheriffs.

Shea again contacted local officials and nothing more happened with the Brambles. That hasn't stopped Shea from referring to the Garfield sheriff and other rural cops as "bullies with a badge."
