FRUIT HEIGHTS – Police are investigating after a family in Fruit Heights found some opioid pills stuffed inside a Christmas gift they bought online.
It was a bizarre Christmas morning for the Hansen family as 21-year-old Ashley tried on one of her new gifts. I knew that the shoes were coming because I helped pick them out, she said.
