Grantsville Mayor Brent Marshall admits putting hands on a constituent, zip tying hands of one official and yelling at another. But he told investigators none of it was inappropriate.

Grantsville Mayor Brent Marshall once zip tied the hands of the city’s zoning and planning administrator. He put his arms on a resident during a conversation in his office. He raised his voice at the city’s recorder after they’d had a dispute over his handling of a contract negotiation.

The women involved in these incidents viewed them as evidence of aggressive and intimidating behavior — and the two city employees told The Salt Lake Tribune they’d left their jobs because of it. But Marshall, in acknowledging the actions to city investigators, suggested they were innocent reflections of his outsized personality.
