CEDAR CITY — A man who police say sent threatening messages to an officer and also made threats against the officer’s family was taken into custody Monday by the Iron County Metro SWAT team.
Manuel Dejesus Cabrera, 29, was booked into the Iron County Jail for investigation of two counts of making a threat of violence, assault on a police officer, retaliation, interfering with an arrest and electronic communication harassment.
Starting about 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Cabrera began sending messages on Facebook to a Cedar City police officer.
“In these messages the individual, Manuel DeJesus Cabrera, stated the officer was going to pay the price for what he did to his father. This officer had previously arrested Cabrera and his father in an unrelated case,” according to a police booking affidavit.
