For the Record: Police Incident during Operation: First Night / Friday Night Fights – 4/11/2025
I want to clarify the events of April 11, 2025, during Operation: First Night / Friday Night Fights at the Eagle Mountain Field. That evening, I contacted law enforcement, but not for any issue related to airsoft. The call was made due to a serious safety concern unrelated to the game.
While hosting a pickup game with Boomer, we witnessed two vehicles truck and a suv—racing through the field’s parking area at estimated speeds of 50 mph. The SUV took a wider path, but the truck cut directly through the lot, briefly catching air before speeding down the dirt road toward Hidden Hollow Elementary. The truck fishtailed dangerously close to a 16-year-old participant walking to the briefing zone.
Boomer and I immediately called law enforcement and remained on site for more than 90 minutes, but officers did not arrive until after we had left due to the late hour.
I understand that, even five months later, this incident has caused questions about my role as a host. I want to reassure the community that anytime law enforcement or first responders are contacted at our events, it is strictly due to critical safety concerns. At Utah Combat Sports Airsoft, safety is our highest priority. We work hard to provide a fun, casual environment while maintaining best practices to protect all participants and the public.
We remain committed to ensuring that Utah Combat Sports Airsoft events are safe, enjoyable, and welcoming for everyone.
