Many patrons took a second look when they caught sight of the bright red Budweiser truck parked outside Settler’s Trace Grocery Wednesday morning. Steve and Joan Killian’s convenience store was the first in the county to receive a packaged beer license – and the first to legally sell alcohol – since voters elected to abolish prohibition in November.

Jeremy Tong was one of those patrons that had stopped to fill his car with gas. It was about 8 a.m. and he watched with interest as the driver wheeled in case after case of Bud Light.

Lt. Gov. Mongiardo in Taylorsville

Taylorsville Police are looking for the person(s) responsible for taking a charity collection box located at Dairy Queen’s drive-thru window.

Chief Toby Lewis said that night shift employees failed to remove the box after closing Monday night. It was not until Tuesday morning that other employees discovered the plastic box was missing.

Lewis called the theft “absolutely absurd,” especially since the box cost about $125, substantially more than the $30 it likely contained.
