UTAH COUNTY — Authorities in Utah County have arrested a man who they say assaulted a 63-year-old Sunday afternoon.
According to the Utah County Sheriff's Office, 22-year-old Kaden Alan Beckstrom assaulted the older man at a trailer park just off State Route 198 in Spring Lake, a town located between Payson and Santaquin.
Police said Beckstrom was "transient" and fled the scene on foot after the attack.
The sheriff's office gave an update that they found and arrested Beckstrom Monday afternoon, at the scene of the assault. They also said his mother, 58-year-old Cindy Jackman, was arrested for allegedly obstructing justice, along with drug charges.
The victim's injuries were not life-threatening; however, police said the assault was "completely unprovoked."
