A man was injured at a South Jordan house that was the scene of a July standoff that resulted in the owner’s arrest for allegedly stockpiling explosives.

The businesses that provided the start of the Miller empire are still responsible for the majority of LHM’s revenue now. The company owns over 60 dealerships in the Western United States. And while there was a near-complete loss of sports and movie theater revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pande...
