By Bob Bernick Jr.Deseret Morning News

A longtime Utah Republican Party dissident, Michael Ridgway, has been sitting in the Salt Lake County Jail since Thursday night, in lockup for apparently violating a stalking injunction and criminal trespass when he tried to attend a Salt Lake County GOP executive board meeting. "Mike knew that he couldn't attend meetings" in the county and state offices, which he had already been barred from coming into, said Salt Lake County GOP Chairman James Evans.
