Utah Man Sentenced for Disorderly Conduct in Yellowstone National Park

July 26, 2024 by Jackson Hole Radio

Robert Sherman, a 55-year-old resident of Holladay, Utah, was sentenced on July 23 for two separate instances of disorderly conduct in Yellowstone National Park (YNP).

In the first case, Sherman received a 14-day jail sentence, which was credited for time already served. This sentence was for making threatening statements in the Roosevelt employee dining room on July 5. Witnesses reported hearing Sherman say, “the next mass shooting will occur here,” just one day after Samson Lucas Bariah Fussner was shot and killed by U.S. Park Rangers after attempting to shoot people inside the Canyon Lodge employee dining room.

In the second case, Sherman was sentenced to five years of unsupervised probation for additional threatening statements made on July 7. Witnesses heard him say that he would be “killing people around here.” During his probation, Sherman must comply with all federal, state, and local laws, keep his contact information current with the court, pay court costs as ordered, and is prohibited from entering Yellowstone National Park.

The sentences were imposed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie A. Hambrick. The National Park Service investigated the crimes, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Ariel Calmes prosecuted the case.
