(HERRIMAN)—A man has not only had his car stolen, he was also run over by it. The Salt Lake Tribune reports a man was returning a DVD rental to a Redbox near 4600 West and 12600 South Sunday around 2:30 p.m. He had parked his car and left it running while he went in to return the movie. Another man proceeded to jump in the car and drove away. Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Don Hutson told the newspaper the car owner tried to get back to the car and the thief backed into one of the man’s legs. He suffered minor injuries. Deputies received a vague description of the subject.
Nitrates Force Mendon To Pay For New Water Well

MENDON (AP)—The Logan Herald-Journal reports that Mendon, a Cache County municipality, is looking to borrow up to $880,000 to drill a new well. In August, the city banned outdoor watering and shut down two wells that tested high for nitrates. Nitrates are bothersome because they can interfere with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. They commonly emerge from fertilizers, but health authorities say they don’t know how it happened to Mendon’s wells. Mendon Mayor Mike Morgan says the city hopes to have a new well running by late spring for irrigation purposes.
