LYMAN — The shooting/threat incident in Lyman last week has resulted in felony and misdemeanor charges as an adult for Brady T. Dean.

Dean allegedly made a threat against another student and, according to Lyman Police Chief Kathy Adams, Wednesday morning the suspect would be housed in Sweetwater as Uinta County doesn’t have adequate facilities to house a juvenile. A call to the Uinta County Attorney’s office resulted in the Pioneer being told the suspect, Dean, was being charged as an adult. Dean was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday, 3 p.m. (after the Pioneer’s press time), according to Terry Munk, chief circuit court clerk Wednesday.

Adams again stated Wednesday, the threat wasn’t directed at the school, but at one of the students so the decision to close the school was deemed the best action. Adams also said no gun was involved but a threat of violence was made against an individual “whether it be at the school or somewhere else.”

In information received from Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon, Dean has three counts against him, which include terroristic threats, and two counts of telephone calls in which he “threatened to commit a violent felony” and in which he threatened to “inflict injury or physical harm to the person.” The incident in these charges occurred April 8-9. Due to these charges, Dean could face a prison term of up to five years, $12,000 in fines or both. Each charge also includes incidental fees for the victim compensation fund and to move the case through the court system.

The affidavit with the court documents also included information the report of the incident, which led to the charges against Dean, had been reported by a female subject who didn’t want to be identified who said she had received the information from social media. The information that was reported was Dean and another juvenile (name deleted) were to meet “in a large fight in the Mountain View area.”
