SALT LAKE CITY (CBS Las Vegas/AP) – Two Utah peace officers have been suspended without pay over a risque video shoot featuring bikini-clad women firing high-powered weapons.
The Utah Department of Public Safety imposed the discipline in December on Rob Wilkinson, a Utah Highway Patrol sergeant, and Justin Hansen, a State Bureau of Investigation agent.
The department released its discipline records last week after receiving a request to obtain them by The Salt Lake Tribune.
Wilkinson, who received a three-day suspension, and Hansen, who received a one-day suspension, were at the Big Shot Ranch near Grantsville in June when British bikini models posed for photos and were videotaped firing guns for a calendar.
“I know what ‘Hot Shots’ is,” Wilkinson is quoted as telling investigators.
Among other violations, the records show the two were disciplined for conduct that brings discredit to an officer or agency.
