COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS Cheryl Smith says sometimes just going to a convenience store with her son can be a challenge.
Her son, Carson, who turns 23 in a few weeks, is 6 feet tall, weighs 300 pounds and ranks high on the autism scale. During a recent store visit, he put his head under a fountain drink machine to drink out of it, opened a bag of chips in the store, took a drink of coffee which he didn t like and poured it out, and then took a bite out of an apple at the counter before putting it back in its display area.

COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS Investigators combed through more than 40 hours of video and 500 pages of police reports, listened to distraught 911 calls and questioned one officer and witness after the next.
They arrived at one main conclusion: law enforcers in a sleepy Utah suburb were simply doing their job last summer when they arrived at protest against police brutality and commanded demonstrators to clear out of the road, leading to confrontations that ended in violent, sometimes bloody clashes. Use of force never looks good, even in the most clearly justified circumstances, Utah special agent Matthew Thompson told Cottonwood Heights city leaders in a presentation via videoconference Tuesday. This case is no exception.
