War Dog Executed in Daylight – Police Find Pickup Used in ShootingToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're diving into a breaking and deeply troubling story from White Oak, Pennsylvania, where a broad daylight shooting has left the biker community shaken. War Dogs MC Member Executed in White OakThe victim of a broad daylight execution in the middle of a busy White Oak intersection last Sunday has been identified as a member of the War Dogs Motorcycle Club.Police say they've now found the pickup truck believed to be connected to the shooting. The vehicle was discovered in Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, about 25 miles away from the scene of the crime.As of Monday night, no arrests have been made, but investigators are piecing together what led to this deadly encounter. Possible Connection to August Biker Bar AssaultAccording to Jennifer Barraso of KDKA-TV, sources suggest that Sunday's shooting may be linked to an earlier incident at a Washington County biker bar in August, where 20 War Dogs allegedly attacked a Pagan MC member.If confirmed, this could indicate retaliation or escalation between rival clubs — a concerning sign of continued biker tensions in the region.We'll discuss what police know so far, what's speculation, and what this could mean for biker relations moving forward.⚖️ Plus: What Is Disloyalty in a Motorcycle Club?In the second half of today's show, we'll explore a powerful question:What truly counts as disloyalty in an MC?We'll cover: The fine line between disagreement and betrayal How disloyalty can destroy brotherhood from within

Marty speaks with Jo Jo Burgess (Mayor of Washington County) about a homicide and the code of silence. He closes the show talking about the Southside Squatters and Lance O'Brien (Medi-Connect) provides information about medical coverage and the open enrollment period.

 In the second part of the conversation, join host Scott Eder (Courtland Consulting) as he continues the conversation with Minnesota's David Ramroop, a child support worker with the Ramsey County Attorney's Office; and James Wittling, a child support professional from Washington County. They discuss their experiences with public assistance and child support work. David shares his personal experience growing up with public assistance, noting that it helped him understand and connect with the families he now serves, emphasizing that it's okay to ask for help. Both caseworkers agree that successful "enforcement" is better viewed as helping all parties—the non-custodial parent, the custodial parent, and most importantly, the child—often involving modification of support based on a change in circumstance. James highlights the complexity and challenges of Interstate child support cases, stressing the importance of patience, meticulous detail, and better communication among states, while acknowledging the efforts to improve with digital tools like the federal child support portal. Ultimately, they both stress a message to the public: they are people who want to serve and build relationships, urging clients to be present, attend hearings, and not be afraid to ask questions.

Send us a textWant to know how a small city can protect its red rock vistas and still welcome new families? We sit down with a 31-year-old Ivins candidate who makes a clear, practical case for balancing heritage, housing, and modern city management—without turning the place into another resort corridor. He shares how growing up in Ivins, interning at the Utah Capitol, and working on statewide campaigns shaped a leadership style that blends clear principles with real listening, especially to younger residents who rarely see themselves on the council.We dig into attainable housing mandates from the state and what a thoughtful, design-first response looks like: mixed housing near parks and paths, duplexes and quads that match neighborhood character, and targeted density along Highway 91 where infrastructure can support it. On the revenue side, we get into property taxes, constrained city funding models, and why smarter tools—like a narrowly scoped sales tax for public safety and even autonomous mowers to free staff for higher-impact work—can stretch dollars without sacrificing service. Throughout, he argues for a walkable fabric of small businesses—clinics, family restaurants, kid-friendly activities—that keep life local and sales tax steady.Environmental protection is non-negotiable: water planning with the conservancy district, protecting Night Sky and Snow Canyon viewsheds, and accelerating land trusts through the Open Spaces Committee to preserve working farms and the rural feel. He also calls for a digital-first civic process: opt-in alerts for zone changes, short resident surveys, and regular plan updates so the data guiding decisions stays current. It's a candid, hopeful blueprint for a city that holds on to what it loves while making room for who's next.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

Send us a textWant the real story behind “managing growth” in a fast-changing town? We sit down with Hurricane's mayoral candidates for a candid, side-by-side look at how zoning, infrastructure, and budgets determine whether a city keeps its soul while adding homes, roads, and services. We dig into the general plan's role in preventing costly pivots, why density—more than raw population—is the key lever leaders can pull, and how water, power, sewer, and access act as hard gates on what gets built and when.Water takes center stage. You'll hear where will-serve letters help—and where they fall short—plus the nuts and bolts of reuse: Type 1 irrigation, trunk lines, and the Confluence Park buildout that shifts pristine spring water back into homes. We talk real costs, from treatment plants that inflated from $24M to $38M, to the reality that water will keep getting pricier. Power isn't far behind: coal retirements, stalled nuclear prospects, and storage-limited renewables complicate the resource mix, even as Hurricane maintains backup generation and shares in regional plants.If you've ever wondered why “affordable housing” rarely shows up next door, this conversation goes beyond slogans. We break down lot sizes, and why smaller, deed-restricted pockets spread through neighborhoods can support young families without creating high-rise blocks. We also get honest about impact fees—they're cost allocation, not a growth throttle—and how zero-based budgeting, under-forecasted revenues, and cash-funding capital projects keep the city resilient. Finally, we challenge the idea that “small-town feel” means freezing time. It's built by open doors at city hall, events like Peach Days, and a culture that welcomes newcomers while honoring property rights and a shared plan.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

In this episode of Laughing with Letta, Sheletta Brundidge speaks with Washington County Health about how opioid settlement funds are being put to work. The county has partnered with eight local organizations to provide support, resources, and hope for families impacted by the opioid crisis. Together, they're building a stronger, healthier community. Tune in to hear how these partnerships are making a real difference on the ground.

Send us a textGrowth doesn't wait for perfect alignment, and neither should we. This conversation with Mayor Michele Randall digs into the choices shaping Southern Utah right now: a Northern Corridor designed to relieve real congestion, a beloved Zone Six worth protecting, and a Western Corridor that shouldn't split SunRiver's sense of place. We walk the ground-level details—UDOT influence, MPO dynamics, SITLA's school-funding mandate, and federal timelines—so you can judge the trade-offs with clear eyes.We also trace how traffic and housing connect. St. George's topography and past land-use shifts created choke points that neighborhood commercial can finally ease. Think daily needs embedded near homes, fewer cross-town trips, and smarter corridors that carry regional growth without turning downtown into a freeway. On the housing front, Michele backs practical flexibility: ADUs in every zone, mixed-style neighborhoods, studio and mid-rise apartments near jobs like Tech Ridge, and a faster, clearer path through approvals. Affordability isn't solved by slogans—it's zoning, timing, and supply that work together.Budgets matter because priorities do. You'll hear the unvarnished timeline behind the proposed property tax increase, why the council reversed course at truth-in-taxation, and how the city still funded core public safety—new stations, equipment, and a majority of planned positions—by cutting elsewhere and tapping capital funds. We get into the city's new budgeting approach where council priorities lead and departments build to outcomes: safer streets, maintained roads, reliable parks, responsive services.Along the way, we confront labels and look at leadership. Michele argues that a nonpartisan mayor meets with everyone, protects heritage with context (from national historic status for the Sugar Loaf and the “D” to a new interpretive trail), and keeps the focus on what makes daily life better. She addresses attendance rumors head-on, shares her health journey, and emphasizes how city work continued seamlessly with strong staff and open channels—public comment rebuilt, online submissions live, and direct contact by phone and email.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

The Beaverton Sobriety Opportunity for Beginning Recovery treatment court is open to Beaverton or Washington County residents who have at least one prior Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants conviction and who agree to the program’s strict requirements. About 200 people have graduated from B-SOBR since its launch in 2011.    Participants must agree to wear an ankle monitor and submit to biweekly testing to ensure their sobriety during the first few months. They must also attend regular meetings with their case manager and the presiding judge to monitor their progress for the 20 months or so it typically takes to complete the program. Beaverton police officers also make monthly visits to participants’ homes, which can help reframe negative interactions they may have had previously with law enforcement, and engage family members or others in the home to support the participant’s recovery.    The All Rise Treatment Court Institute selected the B-SOBR program in January 2025 as one of 10 treatment courts to serve as a national model for new treatment courts for the next two years.    We rebroadcast an interview which first aired in March 2025 about the B-SOBR program featuring B-SOBR case manager David Finke, police liaison Officer Michel Wilson and Mauricio Molina, a recent graduate of the program.

The man allegedly responsible for the death of Charlie Kirk has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. Robinson, a Utah native, is in custody for the killing of the influential Trump ally following an extensive manhunt and the release of new video and images of a “person of interest.” Washington County officials reportedly received a tip from a family friend of Robinson that implicated him in Kirk's death. That information was relayed to local and federal authorities, leading to Robinson's arrest. Utah Governor Spencer Cox, FBI Director Kash Patel, and law enforcement officials provided additional details about the arrest and the ongoing investigation during a live press conference Friday morning.

A young Utah man suspected of killing the co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk at a university forum has been taken into custody, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said on Friday. The suspect, identified as Tyler Robinson, had confessed to a family friend—or "implied that he had committed"—the murder, and that person in turn contacted the Washington County sheriff's office on Thursday.Cox made emotional remarks on Friday for Americans and young people to use the horror of the assassination as an inflection point to turn the country away from political violence and division. “I want you to look at how Utahns reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting, there was no looting, there were no cars set on fire, there was no violence. There were vigils and prayers and people coming together to share humanity,” the governor said. “And that, ladies and gentlemen, I believe is the answer to this.”

Fox News Radio's Eben Brown joins Marc Cox with breaking updates on the arrest of 22 year old Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the Charlie Kirk shooting. Robinson, a student at Utah Valley University who lived in Washington County, Utah, was turned in by a minister and possibly his own father. His father is a 27 year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department. Eben shares details on the quick capture just two days after the attack, the role of the FBI and Utah Department of Public Safety, and what we know so far about potential state and federal charges. The suspect's motive remains unclear as authorities prepare for a press conference.

Last year, Oregon ended its three-year experiment with drug decriminalization known as Measure 110. This came when Oregon lawmakers passed House Bill 4002 to implement new criminal penalties for drug possession and fund efforts at the county level to deflect drug users away from the criminal justice system and into treatment as a way to avoid charges. Those deflection programs look different in every county across the state. It has now been a year since that program began in Washington County. District Attorney Kevin Barton joins us, along with John Karp-Evans, the deputy director of the Peer Company, to talk about Washington County’s legal and behavioral health responses to drug use.

This episode brings back our frequent guest, Kristopher Williams, of PRISM (Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management). Eight PRISMs exist across New York State and work to prevent or minimize the harm caused by invasive species on our environment, economy, and health and welfare of residents. PRISMs are intended to coordinate invasive species management functions including coordinating partner efforts, recruiting and training citizen volunteers, identifying and delivering education and outreach, establishing early detection monitoring networks and implementing direct eradication and control efforts. Regional partnerships with nonprofits, municipalities, conservation groups and volunteers are devised to cast the widest net for control over an enemy that recognizes no artificial borders. The Capital Region Prism ranges from the Catskills to the Adirondacks, encompassing eleven Counties and three million acres. Kris is our go-to expert about all things invasive. We previously have talked to him about invasive plants, insects and diseases. Today we asked Kris to tell us some of the success stories about his long career as an environmental advocate. Our earlier conversations with Kris have aired in episodes 23, 24 and 31, in case you want to look a little deeper into his work. The team has five core members and sixteen seasonal members on staff. Their mission is to coordinate all available resources, public and private, along with volunteers, to combat the multitude of invasive problems and organize alternatives. Their mission includes massive public lands and advisory status for privately owned properties. They act as the glue, Kris says, to hold all entities together. PRISM delivers science and educational programs for maximum impact, and always keeps in mind the different objectives of local and statewide groups. Tim asked Kris for some success stories, since we have discussed so many problems in the past. Kris listed some of the lasting beneficial effects: people achieve self-actuation by becoming aware of and seeking resolutions to invasive incursions; celebrating local impacts to inspire further efforts; there is now an exposition on invasives every two years; college-level programs are now available educating about invasives and remedies. The conversation drifted to the emotional part of treatment of invasives. Most of them got here because they were introduced for a particular feature, and then “escaped” because they were prolific and had no natural enemies. There are also “sleeper” invasives, a new designation. These are known invasives that are still being sold to the public. Unfortunately sixty-one per cent of all invasives are still being sold. There is a patchwork of states regulating and actively banning sale of certain plants. One success story Kris talks about is the Grassland Bird Trust. Washington County had a 20,000 acre trust facing the issue of dealing with invasives. A management plan was devised and a board established. Kris detailed the progress over several years as a management system was put into place and assessed for success year by year. Tim asked about what happens with much smaller efforts, and Kris described available training in IPM (integrated pest management) and land management as well as other volunteer-led controls, with consultation with PRISM staff. Basic measurements to assess success include removal, restoration, and adapting responses to predetermined thresholds. There's a lot of issues associated with invasive species management. Stay tuned for more in the next episode (Part 2).

What began as a click on a Facebook ad in 2021 launched a high-altitude journey from Utah's trails to the Himalayas. Since then, Gawynn has trekked to Everest Base Camp, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and summited Nepal's 21,000-foot Mera Peak twice (once in November 2024 as a trial run to see if he had the stamina and could acclimate at that elevation and then possibly take on Everest, and again in April 2025 as part of his training for Everest). A lifelong hiker, Gawynn embraced the physical and mental challenge of extreme elevation, even adapting to crampons and extreme temperatures in his 60s. Inspired by fellow climbers and Sherpa guides, he conquered training for his boldest goal yet: summiting Mount Everest.

Devil's Den Stalker Left This Family Shattered, Children Ran As Parents Screamed For Lives Two parents stabbed to death on a hiking trail. Their daughters—ages 7 and 9—running for their lives. A killer still on the loose. In this powerful multi-guest episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we piece together the most complete timeline and psychological profile yet of the Devil's Den double homicide, featuring exclusive interviews with three critical voices:  The Couple Who Saw the Killer: One hour before the murders, they crossed paths with a man who gave them chills—black clothing, fingerless gloves, a massive vinyl gear bag, and piercing, bloodshot eyes.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer: With years of experience tracking killers, Coffindaffer breaks down the psychology behind the attack, why the gloves and backpack matter, and how the killer's biggest mistake may be the very thing that gets him caught.

A peaceful family hike turned into a nightmare at Devil's Den State Park—and tonight, we bring you exclusive eyewitness reporting that could help identify the killer. On July 26, 2025, Clinton and Cristen Brink—ages 43 and 41—were brutally murdered while hiking with their two young daughters, just 7 and 9 years old. The girls witnessed the horrific attack and are now safe with relatives. Arkansas State Police immediately launched a double homicide investigation and are now hunting for a suspect described as a white male in his 20s, seen fleeing the area in a black four-door sedan (possibly a Mazda) with a taped-over license plate. The attack took place around 2:40 PM on a popular trail at Devil's Den State Park in Washington County. But there's a new development—and it's coming straight from us at True Crime Today. Roughly an hour before the murders, another couple hiking the same trail had a chilling encounter with a man matching the suspect's description. They describe him as having bright, bloodshot eyes, stubble, wearing dark clothing and fingerless gloves, and carrying an oversized, vinyl-and-mesh “sports bag” totally out of place for hiking. He stared at them with an intensity that made their skin crawl. The moment passed—but they couldn't shake it. After learning about the murders, they tried to call the sheriff's office but couldn't get through. So they came here—to tell their story. In this episode, Tony Brueski sits down for an exclusive interview with the couple who may have crossed paths with the killer just minutes before the attack. Their eyewitness account could hold the key to solving this case. If you were at Devil's Den on July 26 or recognize the description, contact Arkansas State Police Troop L at (479) 751-6663.

In this powerful episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we sit down with a 911 dispatcher who was working the moment Clinton and Cristen Brink were murdered at Devil's Den State Park while hiking with their two young daughters. This exclusive firsthand account gives us our most intimate look yet at what unfolded inside the Washington County dispatch center as the calls for help began flooding in. The dispatcher reveals chilling details: the girls were found running and screaming, saying their mother told them to run as fast and as far as they could—only stopping when they could no longer hear her screaming. We hear what dispatchers knew in real-time, the confusion, the emotion, and the heartbreak that unfolded as a brutal, random stabbing unfolded in broad daylight on a public trail. The dispatcher also shares new details about the suspect's vehicle, including its sound, speed, and design—details collected from multiple eyewitnesses that have not yet been released publicly. From exhaust tips to taillight shape, this episode breaks down what the public should be watching for. We also learn about efforts to track the vehicle through surveillance, as well as behind-the-scenes frustrations over why more hasn't been released to the public. You'll also hear about how this tragedy affected the dispatchers personally—including this guest, who is also a parent, and has experienced devastating loss of her own. This is not just a breakdown of the crime—it's the emotional reality of the people behind the scenes fighting to bring clarity, comfort, and justice in the midst of horror.

Earlier this month the semiconductor chip maker Intel announced it would layoff nearly 2,400 workers in Washington County - amounting to about 10% of its overall workforce. Nonetheless, the company remains one of Oregon’s largest private employers, and the ripple effects of its contraction will be felt more broadly throughout the state economy. OPB business reporter Kyra Buckley has been following this story, and she joins us to bring us the latest.

Washington County is revising how it implements diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in order to comply with new federal grant requirements tied to executive orders from President Trump. Local officials say the move is necessary to protect access to $135 million in federal funding that supports housing, infrastructure, and critical services for thousands of low-income residents in the county.   While the move has drawn criticism from community members who worry it signals a retreat from equity commitments, those involved say the change is necessary to avoid potential civil and criminal liability under the federal False Claims Act. The county commission is scheduled to take a final vote to affirm the policy changes Tuesday, July 22. Washington County Board Chair Kathryn Harrington joins us to talk more about the changes that come amid broader questions about how local governments navigate new federal policies.
