Minibottles, a legendary restaurateur, ‘purge’ killings and K-9 attacks on ‘Behind the Headlines’

Salt Lake Tribune journalists join KCPW’s weekly news roundup.

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune ) Minibottles, shown in Salt Lake City's airport in 2016, may be returning to Utah liquor stores.

A K-9 police officer accused of unnecessarily siccing his dog on arrestees sees one of two felony assault charges dismissed. A Utah man faces a second murder charge after random “purge” killings earlier this month. Minibottles move a step closer to returning to the state’s liquor stores after a three-decade absence. And remembering Kitty Pappas, who ran an iconic Utah steakhouse for 75 years.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Paighten Harkins and Stefene Russell, as well as editorial page editor George Pyle, join KCPW’s Roger McDonough to talk about the week’s top stories.
