Tooele City Police make arrest for aggravated assault

A Tooele man was arrested Nov. 2 following an alleged domestic incident in which he reportedly threw a bottle at a victim and attempted to strangle them before fleeing from responding officers. The following information was provided in a probable cause statement written by Tooele City PD’s Officer Carson Leavitt concerning the incident that occurred on Nov. 2, 2026, in the area of 700 N 100 E. Prior to Officer Leavitt’s arrival, he was advised by dispatch that the reporting party was a third party to the incident where she stated the victim, her friend, was being assaulted. Once Officer Leavitt arrived on scene he made contact with the victim who stated the male, identified as Shawn Ronald Thomas, was no longer on scene. As it was described by the victim, Thomas allegedly threw a bottle at, and attempted to strangle, them. The victim continued, adding that the argument started because Thomas had court that day regarding a different domestic violence case concerning the two parties.
