A member of the Park City Council was found guilty by a judge this week of disorderly conduct for an encounter with a group of cross-country skiers this past winter.
Councilman Jeremy Rubell, 43, was initially charged with one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct for the offense, which took place on Dec. 29. The charge was later amended to an infraction.
On Dec. 29 around noon, a ski instructor claimed he was with a group of students on the course while Rubell was blowing snow off the back deck of his home. The instructor said Rubell flipped him off, and he then"returned the gesture." After that, the instructor said, Rubell “immediately lost his cool and launched into a profanity-laden tirade.”
The students also said there were others in the area, and Rubell's words were loud enough for them to hear. They said the instructor ultimately had them go to a different area.After the verdict, the judge"waive[d] time for sentencing" and ordered Rubells to pay a $160 fine. According to Utah law, the maximum fine for an infraction is $750.
