Domestic violence

OGDEN — Formal charges of attempted murder, assault and domestic violence in the presence of a child were filed Monday against a Roy man for his alleged attack on his wife and child.

NEW YORK — Clearly, Bob Costas stirred up a hornet’s nest Sunday with a halftime commentary about Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher, who killed his girlfriend (and the mother of his child) before killing himself.

On Twitter, someone posed this question: "Who put Costas on in the middle of a football game so he could spew his one sided beliefs?" Another tweeter sharply recommended Costas "stick to football ... the more you talk, the dumber you sound." And on and on it went. The message resounded: Bob Costas, just shut up.

OGDEN — Jeffrey Dean White, 43, charged with murdering his girlfriend, was found dead late Wednesday night in his cell at the Weber County Jail.

A news release from the sheriff’s office said it appeared that hanging was the cause of death.

White was charged with murder in the Oct. 20 death of Marnie Stark. White told police he and Stark had just engaged in “rough sex” before he called 911, according to charging documents, where he admitted choking her during sex.

OGDEN — The Weber State Center for Diversity & Unity on Thursday will sponsor a self-defense class and domestic violence education.

OGDEN — She told her story while 30-foot-high pictures of her bloodied, bandaged head flashed on the screen behind her.

Shelters are seeing more victims of domestic violence because society is getting more violent, say state and local officials.

FARMINGTON — Ashlee Bambrough believed she was going to testify before a jury in two weeks about what happened to her July 2, 2011.

Instead, the man whom she accused of beating her and throwing her out of a moving truck entered “no contest” pleas to two charges in 2nd District Court on Wednesday, making the trial unnecessary.

Brandon Sloper, 25, of Marriott-Slaterville, entered the pleas to aggravated assault, a second-degree felony, and unlawful detention, a class B misdemeanor.
