Utah-based facilities management and environmental services company Rubicon has filed a federal Complaint with Rudy Larsen and Jena Larsen against officials of the Utah Office of the Attorney General, including former acting Attorney General Sean D.
Reyes, former acting chief of the criminal investigations division of the Utah Attorney General's Office Leo Lucey, criminal investigator Michael Adam Jeter, and lead prosecutor Kaytlin Virginia Beckett.
The lawsuit alleges the defendants used false statements and material omissions to obtain search warrants without probable cause, staged and publicized raids on Rubicon‑related offices, and then filed criminal charges that were later dismissed, causing significant reputational and economic harm.
“Government power must be exercised with precision and honesty.
When officials depart from the facts, businesses and families pay the price,” says Cameron Drommond, vice president at Scandia, parent company of Rubicon.
“Our Complaint details false statements and reckless omissions used to obtain warrants and prosecute an unfounded case—one that was dismissed.
We are asking the Court to hold the defendants accountable and to prevent this from happening again.”

“We support legitimate law enforcement work,” adds Drommond. “But state officials crossed clear constitutional lines, turned an investigation into a media spectacle, and harmed our employees, partners, and customers.
This suit is about the truth and the rule of law.”
