Crime spree tests a more secular Hildale and Colorado City

Related Topics: Hildale

On the morning of July 13, Harvey Dockstader Jr. arrived at his grocery and health store in Colorado City, Ariz., to find a window broken and his cash register busted open.

Dockstader did not want to report the crime to the town marshals — the police force that patrols Colorado City and adjacent Hildale, Utah. But he needed police, so he called and made a report. A marshal — one who had been there when Dockstader was arrested three years earlier — arrived and looked for evidence pointing to the burglar’s identity. So far, the marshals haven’t solved the case.
