Utah Subway Shop Suit over Wrongly Accused Worker Dismissed
A judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by owners of a Utah Subway shop where a worker was wrongly accused of drugging a police officer’s drink.
U.S. District Judge Dee Benson ruled that police in Layton did not implicate the store or imply it had been negligent.
The Layton Subway shop’s owners said police waited two months to disavow the allegations despite knowing blood and urine tests showed the officer had no drugs in his system.
Lawyer Robert Sykes, who represents the shop owners, said he disagrees with the judge’s decision and police officers’ comments were defamatory.
He said his clients would decide next week whether to appeal.
