A GOP county chairman in Utah was arrested for allegedly “waterboarding” his teenage daughter after becoming angry over the cleanliness of her bedroom. “County prosecutors have charged 54-year-old David Nephi Johnson with a first-degree felony count of aggravated child abuse for the alleged incident in early January,” The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Johnson is the Wasatch County GOP chairman. The 54-year-old made his initial court appearance on Thursday and was released from jail after posting bail. Wasatch County GOP Chair David Nephi Johnson, accused of waterboarding a 16-year-old relative, has been arrested on charges of felony child abuse. https://t.co/SnI2bTxTnJ — The Salt Lake Tribune (@sltrib) February 11, 2026 More from The Salt Lake Tribune: Johnson was elected chairman of the Wasatch County Republican Party in May 2025. As of Wednesday, the county party had removed his photograph from its website. According to the report, Johnson’s relative told a DCFS investigator they were taken into a bathroom and had their head pushed into a sink of running water. The relative says Johnson repeatedly dunked their head under the open tap and felt they “couldn’t breathe for about 20 to 30 seconds.” It also says the teen described two other incidents in which Johnson used his backhand to strike their torso causing bruising that lasted about a week and left a “big red mark where his hand was.” According to WKRC, a police affidavit said Johnson became angry about the condition of her bedroom and required it to be “spotless.” “Heber City Police Department has arrested a local man following an investigation into allegations of aggravated child abuse involving a juvenile,” the Heber City Police Department said in a release. “Detectives with the Heber City Police Department initiated an investigation after receiving information alleging that a father had subjected his 16-year-old daughter to waterboarding as a form of punishment. During the course of the investigation, detectives also learned that the juvenile had been backhanded on the torso, resulting in visible bruising,” the release continued. “Through interviews and a thorough investigation, detectives determined that aggravated child abuse had occurred. As a result, David Johnson was arrested on February 10, 2026, and booked into the Wasatch Count jail on charges of Aggravated Child Abuse,” it added. WKRC shared further: The affidavit also references additional alleged incidents involving siblings, including a similar incident involving a younger brother. In a statement posted on social media, the Wasatch County GOP said it was “deeply concerned and troubled” by the allegations. The party said it held an emergency meeting and appointed its vice chair as acting leader. “The Republican Party stands for the protection of the vulnerable and the upholding of the law,” the statement said. “We encourage the community to refrain from judgment until the facts and evidence have been presented.” Watch additional coverage below:

A sane society

As you may know by now, there is an ongoing environmental disaster that threatens to, well, soil our nation’s 250th birthday celebration in the Washington, D.C. metro area and beyond. A burst pipe has dumped millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River, which poses a major problem once springtime comes to the nation’s Capital. And the media refuse to talk about it. Our own Curtis Houck summed the spill (and its early lack of coverage) thusly: Back on January 19, a D.C. Water sewer pipe burst ahead of a major winter storm, sending hundreds of millions of gallons of untreated sewage — collected from homes and businesses in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs — into the Potomac River and triggering not only a foul smell and unspeakable solids, but levels for bacteria such as e. coli soaring to 4,000 times above safe levels for recreational use. As of this week, concerns remain and questions have arisen as to D.C. Water’s grasp of the situation and basic transparency. And with a major waterway in the greater Washington D.C. area serving as both a source of drinking water and the backdrop to major events celebrating America’s 250th birthday, one would think story would merit national attention. Instead, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC have refused to mention it on their flagship broadcast network morning or evening shows. It is my duty to inform you that this blackout has extended to the Elitist Media’s Sunday political affairs programs. This is not unexpected as they will often cover local news when it suits their purpose. The deployment of the National Guard into D.C. streets provided tons of fodder- that is, until the crime numbers demonstrably plummeted.  And you will recall that, while providing adversarial coverage to the federal takeover, the national media omitted reporting on the concurrent crime data scandal that rocked the Metro Police. They cited the cooked data as gospel because it served and furthered The Narrative. What does this have to do with the poop storm currently assaulting the DMV? The same principles apply. This story will draw as little coverage as possible for as long as possible because it reflects poorly on Democrat governance. We saw this in their omissive coverage of the Mamdani administration’s deadly mismanagement of a snowstorm, a timely reminder of Iowahawk’s Iron Law of Journalism: Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving. — David Burge (@iowahawkblog) September 26, 2014 Shocking no one whatsoever, the Sunday shows joined the nightlies in not covering a D.C. local story with national implications (in fairness, we note that NBC's Meet the Depressed is on Olympic hiatus). If past is prologue, they are very likely to say nothing on the matter until after President Trump weighs in (it is an environmental disaster, after all), after which point the story will be Trumpwashed. Whatever thing Trump says will then be the scandal, as opposed to the decay that led a 72-inch sewage pipe to burst in Maryland, spewing millions of gallons of wastewater into the Potomac. At that point, the media’s collective scheisfrendschamen will magically disappear.
