Good morning RJ,

Texas Roadhouse in Casa Grande dished up a new record for the chain. On Friday, it served a 140 oz steak for a retirement party. That’s a lot of beef!

In other news, the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office believes a shooting reported near Casa Grande on Friday didn’t actually happen. Deputies received a 911-call reporting a possible gunshot victim, but when they rushed to Chacon Drive, they discovered that the address they had been given didn’t exist and didn’t find any evidence of a shooting or anyone who had been injured. Here’s what deputies believe may have happened.
