The following was one of many replies to the Facebook post of the Millard County Sheriff’s Office:
Tyler Thomas Wright He was located?!? No, he left to get help. After two people turned him away, he came to my house. He told me what happened, we got in my car, and he then showed me where the accident happened. You didn’t locate and arrest him. He came back when he had help, then turned himself in. Don’t lie to make yourselves sound better.
