BREAKING Detailed records show gruesome child abuse allegations made against Michael Haight by his daughter, but also explain why he was never charged
ENOCH CITY, Utah — Police records obtained by FOX 13 News show Michael Haight had previously been investigated for child abuse, although he was never charged following an interview in which he claimed the incidents were a"misunderstanding."
Haight is the husband and father suspected of shooting and killing Tausha, his mother-in-law and five children inside an Enoch City home earlier this month. The day after the Jan. 4 shooting, police chief Jackson Ames said his department was"familiar" with the family and had been"involved in some investigations with the family a couple years prior," but did not elaborate on the reason.
Macie recounted a time when Michael Haight had become angry with her and grabbed her shoulders, before taking her head and banging it into a piece of wood along the backside of a couch. Macie added that she had seen Michael take Tausha's phone from her mother to keep her from leaving the house. "[Michael] stated that Macie is mouthy and he gets angry at her," the officer wrote of Haight's interview.
