SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Police say a man who was released early last week from a Utah halfway house because of the spread of the coronavirus attacked a woman in her home two days later. Utah Department of Corrections spokeswoman Kaitlin Felsted confirmed that the virus played a role in Joshua Haskell’s early release but didn’t say why that decision was made or if any other parolees in Utah halfway houses had been released early because of the spread of the virus. Authorities say the attack occurred March 19 in the city of American Fork south of Salt Lake City. Haskell’s public defender did not immediately comment.
