Former St. George Police Officer charged with alleged child abuse

Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC4) — A St. George City Police officer was charged with child abuse on April 14, 2025. He is no longer employed at the police department.

Eric John Trombley, 46, has been charged with third-degree felony aggravated child abuse.

According to the charging document, on February 21, 2025, Trombley committed the felony. Little information is available about what occurred, only that the charge was given the “reckless” enhancement.

According to the St. George Police Department, Trombley is no longer with the department. ABC4 has reached out to the city for more information on when he left.

On May 29, 2025, Judge Jay Winward from the fifth district court voluntarily recused himself from the case after Trombley’s initial appearance on May 27. The case was reassigned to Judge Ryan Christiansen, also in the fifth district court.

Trombley has a preliminary waiver hearing scheduled on June 17, later this month. He is not being held in jail, and was booked and released last month before his first court date.
