ST. GEORGE — Two 22-year-olds were arrested over the weekend after police say they destroyed a new radar speed display sign and attached trailer in Hurricane, Washington County, according to police.
Daniel Stanton McAtee, of Toquerville, and Ryler Pearce Farnsworth, of Hurricane, were arrested Sunday following an incident reported Saturday night involving a speed regulatory trailer that was reportedly destroyed with a baseball bat, police say.
The trailer powers a radar speed display sign that alerts motorists of their speed. It was set up at the intersection of 700 West and 400 North in Hurricane.
A video capturing the incident was turned over to police and showed two men striking the large LED screen, as well as the trailer and electronics, with a baseball bat, which demolished the entire system, according to court documents. The men were then seen fleeing the scene in a pickup truck, police said.
