Huber v. City of Casper11/5/1986
the van on the motorcycle."
The threesome then returned to the accident scene where they saw an ambulance and other emergency vehicles, but they did not stop. They returned to the accident scene in Officer Ward's vehicle because they did not want the van to be recognized.
Officer Brian Sanborn of the Casper Police Department investigated the accident involving Dr. Huber. At the scene he found the driver within a foot or two of the motorcycle. The driver, Mathew Keck, was suffering from a broken arm and leg. The motorcycle driver said he suffered four broken bones. The day after the accident, April 7, 1985, at the request of Wyoming Highway Patrolman Ward, he and Officer Sanborn rendezvoused near a Casper hardware store. Patrolman Ward had a copy of Officer Sanborn's accident report. Ward said that he could give Sanborn more information about the accident. Officer Ward then asked Sanborn not to say anything about what he was going to tell him. Regarding the meeting, Sanborn testified:
"* * * e [WHP Ward] started telling me that he had been out with a girl that night and that they had met with Emerick. And I didn't know who Emerick was. I asked him who Emerick was, and he said Emerick Huber. He told me that he was Judge Huber's brother and that they had picked this girl up on Conwell that had been beaten and that they were going to take the girl home down there on H Street and while they were parked there on H Street, that he had thought the right side handlebar of the motorcycle had hit their van and that they — the reason they left was that they believed that they were bikers.
"Q. Let me go back. What did you say about believing the motorcycle hit the van?
"A. He told me that he believed the right side handlebar of the motorcycle had hit the van, and that's where the body bondo had come from that we found at the scene. He told me about them thinking that they were bikers and that the girl they had taken down there, that she had a 1 percent tattoo mark on her hand and that he thought she was part of the motorcycle gang, that they was chasing them.
"He went on to say that they had taken the girl down to the police station and met with Sergeant Lowe and Sergeant Lowe took the girl and that they had told Sergeant Lowe about the accident itself.
"Q. Did he at any time tell you that he had showed Sergeant Lowe the damage to the van?
"A. He said that they had pointed out the damage to the van. He didn't say if it was him or if it was Mr. Huber.
"Q. At any point did you say anything to the officer about keeping this off the record or not saying anything to anyone?
"A. I told him that I was going to have to talk to Sergeant Lowe and see what he knew about the accident and I would have to complete reports on the information that he just give me and I would probably have to talk to the lieutenant, which was the watch commander, being as it involved another agency now.
"Q. What happened then?
"A. He emphasized again that he wished that I could keep it quiet and not say too much about it because he was in fear that the type of job that he had, it could mean repercussions for him and that if these bikers found out about — or this kid — after I told him it was a kid — found out that Emerick Huber was a doctor, that maybe they would want to sue him or something like that."
Officer Sanborn testified that he had a conversation with Dr. Huber. Sanborn said:
"* * * I had told him [Dr. Huber] that Ward had told me that the reason he didn't want me to say anything was because that Ward had said that Mr. Huber was afraid of bei
