Utah man charged with sexual misconduct at Carthage Quality Inn


A misdemeanor sexual misconduct charge was filed in Jasper County Circuit Court today against a Payson, Utah man who blamed intoxication for his decision to indulge in a solitary sex act in the pool area at the Quality Inn in Carthage Sunday.

Bond for Troy Jackman Veatch (DOB 1967) was set at $5,000 surety or $600 cash. His arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. November 29 before Judge Joseph Hensley.







The probable cause statement indicates Veatch was walking northbound on Hazel Avenue, followed by Quality Inn employees, when Carthage Police arrived. Veatch "became aggressive" with officers and was upset because Quality Inn had kicked him out of his room "just because they saw his penis."

Two witnesses told officers they had seen Veatch's actions in the pool area. One asked why he was touching himself. Veatch said he was intoxicated and apologized, according to the probable cause statement.







Veatch was handcuffed, tried to pull away from the officers and did not follow their orders to sit in the patrol car.

After Veatch was taken to the jail, he continued to resist officers and "went completely limp" and had to be carried to the jail cell, the probable cause statement said.

His middle name seems unfortunate considering the circumstances.

He probably misunderstood someone saying it was jacket weather.
