Before he was a police cadet, Brandon Done suffered a back injury and took a co-worker's medication to help him cope with the pain.

Done should have reported the illegal prescription use on his application to Weber State University's police academy, but he didn't. Done later admitted the prescription use in an employment application. The previous omission was reported to the Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which regulates police.

Done went before the council earlier this month and asked for a more lenient penalty than the two-year suspension proposed.

"I want to get a job in law enforcement," Done told the council, according to an audio recording of its Dec. 8 meeting. "It is a career path I have always wanted to do."

But the council suspended Done's police certification for two years. The council also suspended eight other current and former peace officers.

The council gave a two-year suspension to another peace officer, Shawnn Hartley, who failed to disclose marijuana use. Hartley admitted after graduating from the academy that he had used marijuana, according to information presented to the council. Hartley was unemployed when he made the admission.

The council also suspended two Cedar City police officers. Charles Crosby admitted to having sex with a woman while he was on duty and in uniform, according to information provided to the council. He was suspended for three years.

The other Cedar City officer, Jed P. Imlay, was suspended for four years. According to information provided to the council earlier this year Imlay drove his patrol car to a baseball park with his son in the car and hit a retaining wall. Imlay then left the ballpark. The police department investigated, determined Imlay was drunk and he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. He was sentenced to probation and two days in jail.

Another former police officer, Troy Anderson, was suspended for 2 1/2 years for driving under the influence. It was Anderson's second offense. A judge in Box Elder County Justice Court sentenced Anderson to two days in jail.

Other officers suspended at the Dec. 8 meeting:

• Logan: Jacob Boehme, six-month suspension for disorderly conduct and misuse of a police database.

• Tooele: Talisa Black, two-year suspension for assault and domestic violence in the presence of a child.

• Sandy: Jared Hughes, 18-month suspension for driving under the influence.

• Utah Department of Corrections: Mark D. Puett, six-month suspension for criminal mischief.
