Utah Democrat Pistol-Whips Man Over Drug Debt
Posted by Bob Owens on July 24, 2014 at 4:57 pm
It is probably safe to suggest that Mark Byrges long-shot candidacy for Utahs House District 56 just suffered a relatively significant set-back:
A Utah legislative candidate was charged with assault and kidnapping this week after police said he forced a man into his home at gunpoint and pistol-whipped him over a prescription drug debt.
Defendant Mark Byrge, 43, ran uncontested in the Democratic primary last month and is slated to run in November against Republican state Rep. Kay Christofferson in House District 56.
Byrge was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated assault, kidnapping and obstructing justice.
In court records, police said Byrge attacked Dayton Wright, who was treated at a hospital for large cuts on his face and the back of his head.
Byrge is being held in Utah County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
Police allege in the court documents that Byrge and Wright had been exchanging threatening text messages over money.
Byrge later told police the dispute was over an outstanding loan to Wright, but authorities said text messages indicate Byrge was demanding payment for prescription pain drugs he had given to Wrights girlfriend.
Byrge asked Wright to come by his apartment on June 1. The men argued and Byrge hit Wright in the face with a walking cane, police said.
The fight continued on the porch and front yard before Byrge pulled a gun and forced Wright inside at gunpoint, authorities said. Byrge pistol-whipped Wright and repeatedly threatened to kill him, court documents state.
The Utah Democrat party is not backing Byrges campaign, and would probably prefer that he renounce his party affiliation.
Byrge will remain eligible to run in the race as long has he is not convicted of a felony.
Byrge already has a string of misdemeanor convictions and no context pleas dating back to 1991.
Republican state Rep. Kay Christofferson won House District 56 in 2012 with 88% of the vote.
Comments;
Another typical dimocRAT!
BTW......this comment after the story is almost as good as the story......
"Not a big threat to Kay. Until last year I lived in that district. A very gun friendly state representative in a very conservative district. This idiot had no chance before this event. Yet funny that so far only the Fox channel has covered this locally.
What makes that even more interesting is what coverage it has received has been very low key only mentioning how the gun was used but focusing more on the drugs and kidnapping crimes. Yet when a year ago today a prominent pro-gun advocate got into a little argument with his ex-wife while he was carrying (he was visiting friends in the neighborhood and accidently backed onto her lawn when leaving (it was in a cul-de-sac and he was driving a very big truck) he never drew, never threatened to draw or in any way referred to his EDC weapon yet it was front page news for days, and jumped back to the front page every time another step of the legal proceedings came up.
The media double standard lives on, a democrat physically assaults someone with a loaded weapon, and threatens his life and it was a kidnapping or a drug issue. A pro-gun conservative backs a couple feet onto his ex's lawn while turning around and it's front page, and all about the gun he had that never left it's holster.
Looks like the State of Utah will be getting another dimocRAT in their slammer! (Good riddance! )

The Republicans must be thrilled that after the embarrassing scandal type antics of so, so many of their folks over the past couple of years, that a couple of dimmasses have shown up on the Democrat side lately!! Stupidity can be an equal opportunity employer.

On your one and only attempt to start a thread on you own, you're complaining about, "who do people post links if they don't have "nuthin" to say"?
My question to you is......."why do YOU reply to topics when YOU have "nuthin to say"? (that makes any sense )
BTW......big news flash......this just out.....Governor Rick Perry can give National Guard troops "arrest power" if he chooses to.........
BTW #2. Why do dimocRATS waste their precious time even opening topics started by "normal people", knowing that they won't agree with them? Do you also go around "crashing parties" that you're not invited to?
BTW #3. What are you going to do when your electric bill doubles, and you gasoline gets to $5/gal.?
BTW #4. Do you think conservatives have as much fun in infancy as libs have in adultery?
