A man shot by Taylor police appeared in court from a hospital bed and faces multiple felony charges, including firearm offenses and felonious assault. He is linked to two alleged robberies in Ohio involving a stolen U-Haul.

Alphanso Talley, 27, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges after shooting a Chicago police officer and critically injuring his partner at Swedish Hospital. Talley, who has a history of mental health issues and foster care, was arrested following an armed robbery at a Family Dollar store and later opened fire during his detention at the hospital.

Utah lawmakers passed a new law to increase penalties for retailers like Family Dollar and Dollar General that repeatedly overcharge customers at checkout. The law, effective 6 May, was prompted by a Guardian investigation into pricing discrepancies at these stores.
