SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A former employee of the Utah Boys Ranch who's accused of robbing at gunpoint one young man and threatening another has been charged.
Twenty-three-year-old Salasini Hoe Fueaipangai of Riverton is facing several charges, including, aggravated robbery, tampering with a witness and possession of a controlled substance.
According to court documents, Fueaipangai used marijuana in March with a young man. A day later, Fueaipangai allegedly told the man he dealt cocaine, and as he held a gun to the man's face, said he would kill him if he told anyone.
Court documents said, on two occasions last month, Fueaipangai also pointed a gun to the man's head and demanded money from him.
Also, according to court records, Fueaipangai allegedly told another youth, if his head wasn't "screwed on tight he'd just go in and shoot up the whole ranch."
Fueaipangai told police he was angry and made the threats in jest. The alleged robbery and threats happened off the Boys Ranch campus.
