Arthur (Art) Henderson was fired from the Lehi Police Department in 2004 after being charged with assault and was due back in court on Monday. He's a former amateur boxer proficient in martial arts, had been a use-of-force instructor for the Lehi Police Department and is a former SWAT officer. This week, he chased down his ex-wife's boyfriend in a car chase, rammed his truck into the boyfriends car, shot him twice, shot at his ex-wife and officers - and even a car passing with a family in it took a bullet. Officers shot Henderson.
The boyfriend had to be airlifted to Salt Lake for hospital care. Both will be okay.
In February 2005 his ex-wife wrote down incidents from 14 years of domestic violence while applying for a protection order, like
...being grabbed, having her head put THROUGH a wall, getting hit in the head with a box of bullets, repeately threatening to kill her - with their their kids trying to jump in - kicking her so hard her leg was bruised to the bone, bumps on her head, bruises on her body, holding a gun to her head...
"I went to my knees on the closet floor
and begged him
not to shoot me."
