Here are the top 3 stories today in Salt Lake City: Not only did a Salt Lake City landlord break into a resident's home by breaking down their door with a sledgehammer, but in wielding the said tool, he chased them through their house and onto the street, ultimately throwing it at them. It may come as no surprise that the offending landlord, 60-year-old David Shaskey, was arrested.
