🚨 CLARIFICATION POST 🚨
We are aware of the viral videos circulating online regarding YouTube personality "Reckless Ben" and a Lego resale dispute. Because our department has received numerous inquiries, we want to officially clarify that the Salem UTAH Police Department has zero involvement in this matter.
The Facts: The recent law enforcement actions seen in the videos occurred in a neighboring jurisdiction and were NOT handled by the Salem Utah Police Department. Furthermore, the business dispute involved in the story originated in Salem, Oregon—not Salem, Utah.
We kindly ask that any questions or comments regarding this ongoing situation be directed to the appropriate agency. Thank you for helping us keep our lines clear for local emergencies!
