MURRAY — The Utah Department of Transportation says it plans to fill the cave allegedly dug out by a man found inside it near an I-15 overpass.

Troy Coyn Jones, 45, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on Tuesday for investigation of criminal mischief and trespassing after police say he dug the cave on UDOT property near the I-15/I-215 interchange on the south end of the valley.
