From Lt. Dave Mitchell, Iron County Sheriff’s Office
The Iron County Sheriff’s Office responded to Old Iron Town on July 8, 2024, on a report involving an incident with a bull and a physical altercation between two men. Deputies found that a man had been gored by the bull, and an altercation had taken place between two other men.
Upon the arrival of Gold Cross Ambulance personnel, life-flight services were initially requested for the injured individual. However, after assessing the victim’s condition, it was decided that the individual could be transported by ground ambulance. Consequently, Life Flight was no longer needed.
The two men involved in the altercation opted not to press charges. The brand inspector was informed and located the bull’s owner. Subsequently, the bull was removed from populated areas. Upon clearing the call, the deputies took no further action.
The Iron County Sheriff’s Office extends its gratitude to all emergency responders and individuals involved for their cooperation and quick resolution of the incident. Moving forward, they emphasize the importance of exercising caution around animals and reporting any related incidents to the appropriate authorities.
