Utah State Prison already is above capacity and inmate numbers are expected to increase at least 32 percent over the next five years. "That 32 percent increase is extremely conservative. It's based on only a 4 percent annual increase," Lane McCotter, Department of Corrections executive director. - LOGAN (AP) A Logan man with a criminal record and a purported hatred of Mormons was being held without bail for investigation into the stabbing death of a church employee. Michael Wayne Phillips, 23, was arrested about noon Wednesday while walking on Logan's Main Street. Cache County Deputy Attorney James Jenkins said a murder charge would not be filed until test results came back from the state crime lab. Conrad Harward, 64, of Logan, was found stabbed to death at about 8 a.m. Wednesday inside a Mormon Church administration building just southwest of Mount Logan Middle School.
