Over the weekend, the Vernal Police Department and the Uintah County Sheriff's Office, in collaboration with several partnering agencies, conducted operations during a motorcycle rally held in Vernal.

We are aware of public discussion regarding enforcement efforts during this event. We encourage everyone to recognize the distinctions between a motorcycle club and a "one-percent" motorcycle gang. The group involved in this event was identified as a one-percent motorcycle gang, and our operations remained focused on lawful enforcement and public safety throughout the weekend.

During the event, law enforcement conducted multiple traffic stops for observed violations. These stops resulted in arrests for firearm offenses, multiple DUI offenses, drug offenses, and other violations.

Our primary goal was to ensure a safe weekend for residents, visitors, and event attendees. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all involved agencies, the weekend concluded safely. We appreciate the community's ongoing cooperation and support.
