Greek tragedy in Utah Co.
The bizarre saga David Gardner began 1999, when the once-respected former Utah County Commissioner claimed a hitchhiker offered him a sip of soda that was laced with vodka. By the time a cop pulled him over, a blotto Gardner had started a small brush fire by driving his Cadillac off the road.The tale only got bizarrer and bizarrer-er:
In 2000, Gardner managed to get into a Donnybrook with a nine-year-old neighbor over a flashlight, grabbing the kid by the neck.
In 2007, he was charged for fondling the thigh of a 26-year-old woman. (Gardiner maintains he wasn't copping a feel, but instead trying to get the woman to drive more responsibly.)
But before he could plead out to that mess, he staggered drunk out of a Springville convenience store into the arms of police.
Fourth District Judge John Backlund, at right in the photo, has proven himself something less than the Solomon of Utah County by putting Gardner on probation yet again, saying:
The court is impressed that Mr. Gardner is a very complex and disturbed individual. Given some of his erratic behavior in the past in other cases, I just am very concerned about this issue.

Oh No, 2 More Mo's.........Just doing what "They" have been taught.....
Not allowed: You know who I hate? Jews.
Allowed: You know who I hate? Mormons.
Must be in the same ward.
Judaism is a race and a religion, anonymous. Despite what some would have you beleive, religions are chosen. Race is not.
I might add that many people who are so rabid in their hate for the Latter-day Saint Church are either lapsed or inactive members.
Funny that.
Actually, if I'm not mistaken it was vodka-laced COFFEE that Gardner claimed he was forced to drink when that devil hitchhiker caught him at a weak moment in 1999. Coffee--as opposed to Diety Coke--makes it so much more naughty!
