SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — A former Salt Lake City police officer has been found guilty after investigators say he pinned a man with his personal vehicle while off-duty.
The ex-officer, Thomas Caygle, was found guilty of negligently operating a vehicle resulting in injury.

ABC4’s The Justice Files first started looking into Caygle after reviewing the disturbing dashcam and body camera footage of Caygle, who was seen slurring his words and unable to walk in a straight line.
In the body camera footage, Caygle is heard telling officers he is currently a Salt Lake City police officer and used to work for the Ogden City Police Department.
The Justice Files later found the Ogden and Salt Lake City police departments had internally investigated Caygle’s behavior.
Almost terminated at Ogden City Police Department
Thomas Caygle worked for the Ogden City Police Department for eight years. In that time, he was written up multiple times for crashes — including an incident where he hit a pedestrian.
