(ST. GEORGE) – A Washington County man reportedly high on cocaine was tasered by police Thursday after jumping out of a moving vehicle on I-15. St. George police reported that several people called dispatch at about 7am, complaining of a man causing a disturbance and endangering himself in northbound lanes on the freeway. Police said the man jumped from the vehicle which was traveling about 50 miles-per-hour. When officers arrived, they discovered the man’s girlfriend was taking him to the hospital after he had taken a large dose of cocaine and was suffering from an adverse reaction. Police reports said the man was uncontrollable and had to be tasered to take him into custody. He was taken to the hospital and treated for complications from ingesting an excessive amount of cocaine and booked into the county jail on multiple charges.

(RICHFIELD) – Several road closure notifications have been lifted in the Piute Trail System due to the Twitchell Canyon Fire burning northeast of Beaver. Fire personnel say the wildfire has now burned nearly 11,000 acres and is five percent contained. Managers anticipate another six miles of fireline will be built by firefighters, most of which will be in the northeastern portion of the fire perimeter. Officials say several roads in the Piute Trail System have now been opened to travel, including the Max Reid Trail, Dry Wash, Deer and Beaver Creeks and Poison Creek Roads. Three other forest roads remain closed near the wildfire but should not affect outdoor enthusiasts who will be joining the ATV Jamboree slated for Sept. 20. Communities in the Sevier Valley may still see smoke from the fire.

(GUNNISON) – A Gunnison home polluted by the fumes of the Top Stop gas spill in 2007 is being torn down today. City officials say the home of Jeremy and Marlo Taylor, located at 255 South 100 West in Gunnison, is being demolished because fumes from the gas spill cannot be dispersed in the home. Reports say the Taylor’s have not occupied their new home since they were notified of the leak in 2007. City officials also said the Taylor’s were not able to recover their losses from Wind River, Inc., the owners of the Top Stop gas station.

(LAYTON)-Utah Governor Gary Herbert championed what he called a “triple play day” Thursday for northern Davis County commemorating a groundbreaking ceremony for a large-scale composites manufacturing company planning to the anchor tenant of a long-anticipated aerospace industrial park.

Later, he helped usher in the announcement that Janicki Industries of Washington D.C. will be in tandem with an $100 million capital investment by ATK to locate a composites campus at a building at Freeport Center.

Over the next 20 years, the facility is expected to create more than 800 full-time skilled employee positions.

The two announcements were followed by an event at Hill Air Force Base where the opening of “Building 674,” was officially observed in a ceremony signaling the start of operations for an F-22 composite aircraft overhaul and test facility.

Herbert said the state is positioning itself to continue its aerospace traditions that will leave a legacy for years to come.

ATK officials say they already have work set to go to fill commercial and military orders that include the Air Bus 350 and the F-35 Joint Striker Fighter or the Lightning.

With the facility at Hill Air Force Base already under consideration as a preferred site for the location of three Squadrons of the Lightning, the private business ventures of Janicki and ATK will fit a niche well into the future, noted Utah Senator Orrin Hatch in remarks read at the Layton groundbreaking.

(ST. GEORGE)-Sunday, a number of graves in St. George were damaged after police say two drunken men went on a vandalism spree.

Police discovered an “extensive amount of damage,” to more than a dozen headstones at the St. George City Cemetery, said police spokesman Johnny Heppler.

Heppler said there was also damage incurred to a maintenance shed that had had its windows broken out.

Overall, Heppler estimates there were over $12,000 incurred in damages.

Police were summoned to the area (near Tabernacle and 700 East) by the owner of a nearby convenience store who noticed two drunk men acting inappropriately while Heppler said police spotted them at 600 East and Tabernacle, near the western edge of the cemetery.

After a short foot chase, 20-year-old Rykky Perez and 19-year-old Jordan Orr were arrested for investigation of criminal mischief.

Heppler said they admitted to responsibility for vandalism in a subsequent police interview and stated the culprits blamed their drunkenness for their actions.

(SAN BRUNO, Calif.)-Fire crews sprayed water on smoldering homes Thursday evening after a massive explosion triggered by a broken gas line sent flames roaring through a neighborhood near San Francisco, killing six and injuring dozens more, officials said Friday.

Crews are still working to douse the flames and authorities say there could be other casualties and the number of deaths is rising, stated San Francisco-based Senator, Leland Yee.

California Lieutenant Governor, Abel Maldonado, said he knew of at least four people being killed and more than 50 injured during a news conference.

Reportedly, a natural gas line ruptured in the area Thursday evening at 6:24 p.m. PDT and the explosion, which shot a fireball 1,000 feet in the air, was heard for miles around.

By late Thursday, subsequent flames continued to shoot at least 100 feet in the air while the fire had spread to 15 acres and was 78 percent contained.

Pacific Gas & Electric Company said in an e-mailed statement they are responsible and will take accountability for the incident.

Friday, the National Transportation Safety Board said it had sent a four-member team to San Bruno, a city of 40,165 residents about 12 miles south of San Francisco, to investigate the blast.

(SALT LAKE CITY)-Records in the state archives of Utah show big donors are getting meetings with incumbent Utah Governor, Gary Herbert, as the gubernatorial race intensifies.

Meanwhile, these donors appear to be getting favorable statement from the state although Herbert insists there is no connection.

Donors include a prominent southern Utah mine, the I-15 CORE reconstruction in Utah County and Provo River Constructors although John Njord of the Utah Department of Transportation says the Provo River team won the bid because they agreed to do more work through the canyon more swiftly than had been projected.

However, Herbert’s competitor, Salt Lake County Mayor, Peter Corroon, says things look funny in Herbert’s campaign and his campaign says they plan to address this in some new spots raising questions on the matter next week.
