SALT LAKE CITY — Former Weber County swindler Wayne Ogden pleaded guilty Friday to charges from his second federal fraud case.

A sentencing hearing is set for Aug. 15 before U.S. District Judge Ted Stewart.

The sentencing will also cover the charges from Ogden’s February jury conviction in the same federal courthouse on another fraud conviction. Unique to that 2002 real estate scam, which investigators said turned into a Ponzi scheme, was Ogden’s claim that he was working undercover for federal regulators.

OGDEN — The gloved university student stood, sober-faced, before the group of 26 third-graders at H. Guy Child Elementary School.

“This plain-looking cooler holds liquid nitrogen that is so cold, if I stuck in my bare hand, it would shatter like an ice cube,” said Jordan Flocken, a University of Utah science student.

The silence of the students, ages 8 and 9, lasted, oh, maybe a millisecond.

“Do it, do it, do it!” they chanted.

SOUTH OGDEN — Police are unsure who owns a pit bull that ran into a house Saturday and mauled a cat so badly it had to be euthanized.

Cat owners say their 13-year-old tabby Milo lost its teeth and several back claws, then bled severely throughout the room where it was attacked around 12:30 p.m., before he could be separated from the dog.

A veterinarian could not save the cat, and Milo had to be euthanized.
