Unidentified man calls cops on Scott Wolf's estranged wife over restraining order
A call was made June 27 to police alerting them to the potential presence of Scott Wolf's estranged wife Kelley Wolf at the actor's Park City, Utah home amid their messy and ongoing split. A report from the Summit County Sheriff's Office didn't name anyone specific in paperwork reviewed by Us Weekly. Details revealed in the report and 911 call transcript point toward Boston-born actor, 57, having been the one to make contact with emergency services last month in connection with the conflict. The address provided by authorities on the report matched one linked to the Party of Five actor and his estranged wife, 48, the outlet noted. The telephone call between the 911 operator and the unidentified male reporting party was heavily redacted, the publication reported. Daily Mail has reached out to Scott's rep, and Scott and Kelley via Instagram, for further comment on the story. Kelley was seen in an Instagram Stories frame on Tuesday at the No Name Saloon & Grill in Park City, Utah In it, the reporting party made clear that they were concerned that a woman would show up to the house and cause trouble. The operator said, 'What's the reason for keep the peace call?' to which the reporting party answered, 'So, I have a restraining order against my estranged wife. 'And there was some reason to believe, through friends, that she was going to show up at the house with someone tonight … and kinda make a scene.' The reporting party said he was returning to Park City after an 'out of town [trip] with [his] three children.' The actor is father to three kids with his estranged spouse: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. The reporting party indicated that the woman in question possessed the family's itinerary - and could be making potential plans based off it. The operator asked the reporting party if his estranged spouse 'was going to be there at midnight' to which the reporting party replied, 'I was basically told that she knows we're arriving - she knew what flight we were gonna be on. 'I was just told that she was telling people that she might be there with someone else when we get home.' The reporting party was amenable to any type of arrangement in order to accommodate officials and alleviate the stress and drama of the situation. He said: 'We can wait for an officer to get there. This is regarding an ongoing case. I have the case number if you want to attach it.' Scott last month filed court documents in Utah asking for a restraining order against his estranged wife, 48, entering a declaration. The Boston-born actor's brother Michael Wolf also entered a declaration in the matter, US Weekly reported after reviewing court docs. Wolf on June 9 submit to the court documents indicating his desire to divorce Kelley, who he exchanged vows with in May of 2004. Wolf said in a statement at the time: 'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley. 'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.' Kelley issued a statement saying that she was the one to submit the first paperwork indicating she and the actor were parting ways after 21 years. 'I initiated a separation almost a year ago,' said Kelley, who has a reality TV background, having appeared on the MTV's The Real World: New Orleans and Real World/ Road Rules Challenge in 2000. Kelley, a Westminster University graduate, continued: 'I've been trying to file for divorce for months, but delays with legal counsel slowed the process. 'Yes, the official petition came from the other party, but let the record show: I've been grieving this marriage for years. The news came a month before Scott, 57, was charged with reckless driving, and just days before Kelley later shared shocking footage to Instagram showing her being detained by police Kelley said that 'this isn't avoidance,' but rather 'acceptance,' as she's in a good place emotionally to cope with the drastic life change of a marital breakup. 'I'm far past the grief,' Kelley said. 'I'm well into the healing. Very much so.' Kelley dealt with some legal issues in the wake of the divorce filing, as she had been detained and hospitalized by authorities in Utah June 13. Kelley, an Arkansas native who currently works as a life coach and author, had been doing an Instagram Live segment at the time of her run in with authorities and could be heard admonishing them on the stream. She told law enforcement: 'This is shameful. Be ashamed of yourself, gentleman. I know what I'm doing; this is my job. Shame on all of you.' Kelley subsequently said via social media that she had been taken against her will, stressing that she was not in crisis, but rather 'happier than [she has] ever been. In an Instagram Stories post documenting the incident, she said she had 'NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA' in reference to her detainment. She called the experience one of the darkest things she's ever been through, and encouraged her followers to show one another kindness in their daily lives. A Summit County Sheriff's Office report of the visit stated appeared to reference Michael Wolf, Scott's brother. 'Second time today called police on brother-in-law, divorce battle with husband, brother is at the home, meant to be helping with the kids, caller doesn't feel safe in the house,' the incident report read. Wolf appeared alongside Neve Campbell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Matthew Fox and Lacey Chabert on the screen on the popular Fox series Party of Five from 1994 thru 2000. Wolf portrayed Bailey Salinger, who was forced to grow up and help raise his family as they deal with life after their parents' deaths. Hewitt was featured as Sarah Reeves Merrin, his sensitive off-and-on girlfriend from high school. Wolf has also appeared on TV shows such as Nancy Drew, V, Everwood, The Night Shift and Perception and in films such as Go, The Night Shift, Emmett's Mark and Inside Game.

Lawsuit filed against Park City Ski and Snowboard after 14-year-old injured cliff-jumping
Editor's Note: A lawsuit only portrays one side of the story. PARK CITY, Utah (ABC4) — The family of a 14-year-old who was injured cliff-jumping in 2021 have filed a lawsuit against Park City Ski and Snowboard. According to the lawsuit filed on May 2, 2025, a then-14-year-old girl and other members of a youth athletics team were encouraged to jump off a cliffside by Park City Ski and Snowboard (PCSS) officials. The girl, who has only been identified as H.K., is a professional Alpine skier who had reportedly trained with PCSS for several years. 'Someone's worst nightmare' — Witness to deadly West Jordan house fire describes rescue of child at the scene H.K. and approximately 21 other youth athletes had travelled with PCSS to a ski training activity at Mt. Hood, Oregon. On June 30, 2021, the team went cliff jumping at Punchbowl Falls, from heights approximately twenty to seventy feet above the water. The girl had jumped from the cliff several times, before landing on rocks and 'shattering many of the bones of both of her feet and ankles'. H.K. jumping from the cliffside, minutes before the jump that injured her. Taken from official lawsuit filing document. The injuries sustained will apparently require years of physical therapy and medical intervention and have limited her 'ability to pursue her skiing and other athletic goals and opportunities'. The lawsuit alleges that Park City Ski and Snowboard officials' actions led to H.K.'s injuries, as they were actively encouraging the youth team to cliff-jump without proper training, and breached their risk-reduction duties. According to the lawsuit, H.K. and other individuals were likely to fully trust PCSS coaches and staff, due to their athletic status and connection to 'world class athletes'. Additionally, PCSS allegedly only informed parents that they would be conducting 'dryland' activities, not cliff-jumping. Former Washington Co. Sheriff's deputy charged with allegedly creating CSAM of children PCSS does not have a cliff-jumping team, and the plaintiffs believe that the coaches should have reasonably known how dangerous cliff-jumping is. They also believe that the coaches were clearly not proficient in cliff jumping and should not have encouraged H.K. and other youth to cliff-jump without proper training. The attorneys for H.K. and her family released a statement, saying: 'This case is about a young girl who was catastrophically injured after her coaches, without her parents' knowledge or consent, pressured her to jump off a cliff. H.K. was only fourteen. She trusted her coaches. That trust was betrayed. Her injuries are permanent. Her pain is daily. Her dreams have been stolen. No child should be put in that position. No family should have to endure this. We filed this lawsuit to hold those responsible accountable and to prevent this from happening to anyone else.' The plaintiffs are seeking financial and punitive damages from the defendants for the physical and emotional difficulties they experienced after H.K's injury. ABC4 also reached out to Park City Ski and Snowboard, who said they cannot comment on pending litigation. This is a developing story. ABC4 will update this post as new information becomes available.

Poet Andrea Gibson, candid explorer of life, death and identity, dies at 49
Poet Andrea Gibson, one of the subjects of the documentary film "Come See Me in the Good Light," poses at the premiere of the film during the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 25, 2025, in Park City, Utah. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) Andrea Gibson, a celebrated poet and performance artist who through their verse explored gender identity, politics and their four-year battle with terminal ovarian cancer, died Monday at age 49. Gibson's death was announced on social media by their wife, Megan Falley. Gibson and Falley are the main subjects of the documentary 'Come See Me in the Good Light,' winner of the Festival Favorite Award this year at the Sundance Film Festival and scheduled to air this fall on Apple TV+. 'Andrea Gibson died in their home (in Boulder, Colorado) surrounded by their wife, Meg, four ex-girlfriends, their mother and father, dozens of friends, and their three beloved dogs,' Monday's announcement reads in part. The film — exploring the couple's enduring love as Gibson battles cancer — is directed by Ryan White and includes an original song written by Gibson, Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile. During a screening at Sundance in January that left much of the audience in tears, Gibson said they didn't expect to live long enough to see the documentary. Tributes poured in Monday from friends, fans and fellow poets who said Gibson's words had changed their lives — and, in some cases, saved them. Many 2SLGBTQ+ fans said Gibson's poetry helped them learn to love themselves. People with cancer and other terminal illnesses said Gibson made them less afraid of death by reminding them that we never really leave the ones we love. In a poem Gibson wrote shortly before they died, titled 'Love Letter from the Afterlife,' they wrote: 'Dying is the opposite of leaving. When I left my body, I did not go away. That portal of light was not a portal to elsewhere, but a portal to here. I am more here than I ever was before.' Linda Williams Stay was 'awestruck' when her son, Aiden, took her to hear Gibson perform at a bar in San Francisco a decade ago. Their poetry was electrifying, lighting up the room with laughter, tears and love. Gibson's poetry became a shared interest for the mother and son, and eventually helped Stay better understand her son when he came out as transgender. 'My son this morning, when he called, we just sobbed together,' Stay said. 'He says, 'Mom, Andrea saved my life.'' 'I know,' she responded. Gibson's poetry later helped Stay cope with a cancer diagnosis of her own, which brought her son back home to St. George, Utah, to help take care of her. They were delighted when Gibson accepted their invitation to perform at an event celebrating the 2SLGBTQ+ community in southern Utah. 'It was truly life-changing for our community down there, and even for our allies,' Stay said. 'I hope that they got a glimpse of the magnitude of their impact for queer kids in small communities that they gave so much hope to.' Gibson was born in Maine and moved to Colorado in the late 1990s, where they had served the past two years as the state's poet laureate. Their books included 'You Better Be Lightning,' 'Take Me With You' and 'Lord of the Butterflies.' Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said Monday that Gibson was 'truly one of a kind' and had 'a unique ability to connect with the vast and diverse poetry lovers of Colorado.' In a 2017 essay published in Out magazine, Gibson remembered coming out at age 20 while studying creative writing at Saint Joseph's College of Maine, a Catholic school. Identifying as genderqueer, Gibson wrote that they didn't feel like a boy or a girl and cited a line of their poetry: 'I am happiest on the road/ When I'm not here or there — but in-between.' Comedian Tig Notaro, an executive producer on the documentary and Gibson's friend of 25 years, shared on Instagram how the two came up together as performers in Colorado. Hearing Gibson perform for the first time was like witnessing the 'pure essence of an old-school genuine rock star,' and their words have guided Notaro through life ever since, she said. 'The final past few days of Andrea's life were so painful to witness, but simultaneously one of the most beautiful experiences of all of our lives,' Notaro said. 'Surrounded by real human connection unfolding in the most unlikely ways during one of the most devastating losses has given me a gift that I will never be able to put into meaningful words.' Gibson's illness inspired many poems about mortality, depression, life and what happens next. In the 2021 poem 'How the Worst Day of My Life Became My Best,' Gibson declared 'When I realized the storm/was inevitable, I made it/my medicine.' Two years later, they wondered: 'Will the afterlife be harder if I remember/the people I love, or forget them?' 'Either way, please let me remember.'

The Egyptian Theatre Will Sit Out the Final Sundance Film Festival in Park City — but the Yarrow Theatre Returns
The final Sundance Film Festival in its home of over 40 years, Park City, Utah, will be missing a key venue from the festival's storied history: The Egyptian Theatre on Main Street will not return for the 2026 edition before Sundance moves to Boulder, Colorado, starting in 2027. The theater, opened on Christmas Day 1926, has served as a live performing arts space in addition to serving as a cinema. It was conspicuously left out of the 'What to Know About the 2026 Sundance Film Festival' letter written by the director of the Sundance Film Festival and Public Programming, Eugene Hernandez, that press received July 14. More from IndieWire That Time Nicolas Cage Was Almost Superman for Tim Burton Indian Film Board Censors 'Superman' for Being Too 'Sensual' The Egyptian Theatre's executive director Randy Barton told Park City's local NPR affiliate KPCW that the venue was indeed sitting out the final Sundance altogether and is 'no longer set up for film' at all. It will be exclusively a live-performance space going forward. A source from Sundance tells IndieWire, though, that there is a desire to find a moment in the final Park City festival to acknowledge the shared history and legacy that the festival has with the Egyptian, even though it will indeed not be a venue this time around. That moment of acknowledgment would be well worth it: The Egyptian is where so many iconic moments in Sundance history have taken place. As longtime home of the Midnight section, it's where 'The Blair Witch Project' and 'Hereditary' premiered. Not to mention many others, including Lars von Trier's 'Nymphomaniac,' which had a secret screening there at Sundance in advance of its official premiere at Berlin. Before the Eccles Theater opened at the Park City High School, the Egyptian was the festival's showcase theater. In better news, however, the Yarrow Theatre will be returning now that Slamdance has left Park City for Los Angeles. The Sundance rival took over the theater, located in the Yarrow Doubletree hotel on Park Avenue, for the 2024 edition of the festival, and it sat empty in 2025, despite Sundance moving its festival headquarters and press badge pickup there this year. (The festival headquarters will return to the Sheraton, further away, in 2026, however.) The last time the Yarrow Theatre was part of Sundance was in 2023 when it operated under the name 'The Park Avenue Screening Room' and premiered films such as Doug Liman's still unreleased Brett Kavanaugh documentary, 'Justice.' Also, despite being permanently closed the rest of the year — as indicated by Google, its removal from owner Metropolitan Theatres' website, and the reporting of an IndieWire source who was recently on the ground in Park City — the Holiday Village Cinemas will reopen under a special arrangement just for Sundance 2026, as it also did in 2025. Other screening venues for Sundance 2026 will be the Eccles Theatre, Library Center Theatre, The Ray Theatre, and Redstone Cinemas.

Sedgwick County firefighters weigh in on schedule change
PARK CITY, Kan. (KSNW) — A major schedule shift at the Sedgwick County Fire Department is giving firefighters more time with their families. The county switched from a 24-hour shift and 48 hours off to a 48-hour shift and 96 hours off rotation. Firefighters at Station 32 tell me that with the schedule change, there's more time to recover and feel ready to come to work, thanks to more consistent nights of sleep. A couple of months ago, the fire department surveyed its team and found 92 percent of firefighters favored the new schedule. Captain Don Boone for Sedgwick County Fire District 1 has worked under the old schedule for over 20 years. Donors sought for Newton employee facing leukemia 'So you really didn't realize it until we changed to this new schedule. And now it's like after those four days, that first day, I'm ready to go. It kind of refreshes you,' Boone said. Firefighters are at home more mornings since they're at the station two days in a row and get four days off. 'We're seeing right now that overall, a lot of benefits of it. Our personnel are liking it. They get to not commute as much and travel in and out of the station,' Williams said. That's what Boone says he experiences in his day-to-day life. 'With this new schedule, you end up with two days in the in between where you're actually you get to wake up with your family and spend mornings at home with your family. So it's been really beneficial in that way,' Boone said. Leadership says this schedule change does require flexibility in their daily work schedule to not affect response time. 'We've realized when we went to the schedule that we had to be real cognizant to be better at rotating our crews out so that they weren't on long-duration scenes without being switched out,' Williams said. A small price to pay for Boone. Without even the thought of being woken up in the middle of the night. It kind of relaxes you more, and you are able to get better sleep more consecutively at home. That's the big piece of it, you know, because everybody sleeps better at home,' Boone said. The fire chief says he's seeing a reduction in sick leaves in the short amount of time the schedule change has been in effect, as well as an improvement in morale. He also says it's all being done without adding to the budget. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
