A
t the June 8 city council meeting, Bev Uipi, Millcreek’s District 4 representative apologized to the council, those in attendance and the community via the live stream city council meeting. Uipi took accountability for an event that took place a few months prior. On April 5 around 6:20 p.m., Uipi was traveling on I-215 and at 4100 South she exited. It was there on the off ramp where charging documents say she strayed from the road and struck a concrete barrier. Uipi was taken to St. Mark’s Hospital to be checked for injuries. Immediately afterward an interview with the Utah Highway Patrol took place. Their affidavit stated Uipi had, “an odor of alcohol coming from her breath.” Test results from the Utah State Crime Lab registered a result of a blood alcohol content of 0.28%. The result is over five times Utah’s legal limit of 0.05%. Uipi was charged with a Class B misdemeanor. Uipi has a long standing record of serving the Utah community over the past 15 years. After being recruited to be on the Junior National Volleyball training team at age 14, Uipi attended the University of Georgia on an athletic scholarship graduating with a degree in consumer economics and housing.
