A sheriff's deputy pleaded guilty to beating his father yesterday after he allegedly caught him having sex with his wife.

Timothy John 'TJ' Brewer, 33, admitted two counts of assault and received a two-year suspended sentence, 24 months probation and $800 in fines.

Brewer, of Moab, Utah, assaulted his father Wesley 'Corky' Brewer, a respected local fire chief, after he allegedly found him having sex with his wife Logan in their son's bed.

Seventh District Judge Lyle Anderson told Brewer at Moab's 7th District Court: 'I understand why you would have been very angry on the night of your criminal conduct.

'You understand that you can't accomplish anything with violence', reported The Salt Lake Tribune.

Brewer apologized to the court, adding: 'I take full responsibility for [my actions].



'I'm not a violent person. I wasn't before and I'm not now', the local paper reported.

The assaults happened on July 11 when Brewer invited his father over for dinner.

According to police details published by TPM, Brewer cooked dinner for the trio before his wife went to put one of their children.



After she did not return, he went upstairs to check on and allegedly found her 'on top of his dad' on their son's bed.



Brewer then fought with his father and his wife raced to her parents' house.

Wesley Brewer then returned to his own home 'to find a firearm'.

Police wrote in their report: 'TJ made numerous remarks to each officer and deputy that arrived, about all of us being stupid, dumb asses, and at one point stated we needed to call someone with a brain to come and talk with him.' He then assaulted a police officer, according to Salt Lake Tribune.

Brewer was arrested and charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence in front a child, assault on a police officer, intoxication, and disorderly conduct by Grand County officers.

However, because of the Brewers' law enforcement ties in Grand County, the investigation was passed onto the Utah County Sheriff’s Office who reduced the charges to two class A misdemeanors - assault and assault against a peace officer.

T he Utah Attorney General prosecuted the case rather than the local district attorney.

Since his arrest, Brewer has resigned as sheriff's deputy at the Grand County Sheriff’s Department.
