A Salt Lake County Sheriff's deputy is on administrative leave after being arrested on an aggravated assault charge tied to a reported domestic incident in Riverton. Authorities identified the deputy as 27‑year‑old Kee Onu Troy Fuller, and police say the altercation was reported to have occurred on Saturday, with Fuller taken into custody on Monday.
According to FOX 13 News, the Riverton Police Department, which submitted the court documents in the case, said officers were called Sunday to a home after a delayed report of a domestic violence incident that allegedly took place the day before. Multiple witnesses told investigators they saw marks on the victim's neck and said the victim reported being choked. Officers also noted what appeared to be fresh defensive scratches on Fuller's neck. Witnesses provided Ring camera footage to police, according to the filing.
Footage and Audio Described in Filings
Investigators say the Ring video shows the victim leaving the home and trying to walk away before Fuller steps in front of her and grabs her arm to guide her back inside. Audio described in the court documents reportedly captures the victim screaming, "please just leave me alone" and saying, "let go of me, I can't breathe." FOX 13 News reports that investigators cited those statements among the key excerpts from the recording.
Legal Status and Next Steps
Court filings state that Fuller was arrested on an aggravated assault count submitted by Riverton police to prosecutors for review. Under Utah law, aggravated assault is defined as conduct that attempts or causes bodily injury through unlawful force and is generally charged as a felony, typically a third‑degree felony, with the potential to be elevated to a second‑degree felony if it results in serious bodily injury or a loss of consciousness. The elements and penalties are detailed in Utah Code § 76-5-103.
Investigators and prosecutors continue to review the evidence submitted by police. The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office has placed Fuller on administrative leave while both the criminal case and internal reviews move forward. The case remains under active investigation, and officials have not issued further public statements beyond the details contained in the court filings cited in news reports.
