Cowboy's Smokehouse Receipt

A photographed restaurant receipt from Cowboy's Smokehouse is being circulated by citizen investigators as a possible alibi for Tyler Robinson on the night of the Charlie Kirk assassination. The receipt is dated 9/10/25 — the day of the shooting at Utah Valley University — with an order time of 8:55 PM and a card-payment time of 9:47 PM. The claim, attributed to the people circulating it, is that if the receipt is authenticated and the card is matched to Robinson, it would be hard to reconcile with the late-night text-message timeline built from Lance Twiggs' phone. Nothing on this page is presented as proven — the receipt has not been authenticated, the customer's identity has not been confirmed, and the drive-time claim is the poster's assertion.
What the receipt shows
The video posted to X shows a printed customer receipt. The visible fields are:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Restaurant | Cowboy's Smokehouse |
| Check # | 211 |
| Table | 24 |
| Ordered | 9/10/25 8:55 PM |
| Items | Sirloin Steak $27.00, Soft Drinks $3.25 |
| Subtotal / Tax / Tip | $30.25 / $2.82 / $5.44 |
| Total | $38.51 |
| Payment | Visa Debit (card number blurred in source) |
| Payment / checkout Time | 9:47 PM |
| Authorization | Approved · Approval Code 010864 · App ID A0000000031010 · VISA DEBIT · reader BBPOS |
The server's name and the debit-card number are blurred in the source video. The two red underlines in the video highlight the order time (8:55 PM) and the payment time (9:47 PM) — the fields the poster says matter most for reconstructing where Robinson was that evening.
Why the poster says it matters
According to @VLuvMully (Vicki Donahue), who reposted a video she credits to @DiligentDenizen ("MAX"), the receipt has the potential to undercut the official night-of timeline. In her words (verbatim, lightly cleaned):
"TYLER'S RECEIPT FROM COWBOYS STEAKHOUSE 3+ HOURS FROM UVU… If this turns out to be true and I believe it is… by verifying the debit card number or even the last 4 that means all those texts we were shown on Lance Twiggs['] phone about waiting for the officers to leave the wooded area, [and] the midnight encounter with an officer, and the Challenger in front of the Nobles house (with a bald guy and 3 other people in it) were ALL fabricated to frame Tyler Robinson as Charlie's 'lone wolf' assassin… The wait staff swears it was him… That's a positive witness ID… Checking out at 9:47 giving him time to get in his car… [if he got on] the road he wouldn't make it to UVU to be where he allegedly says he is in those texts or at midnight to 'interact' with an officer OR be on the Nobles Ring Cam!!!"
Her argument, as attributed to her, runs like this:
- The receipt is timestamped on the evening of 9/10/25 and, she claims, Cowboy's Smokehouse is "3+ hours from UVU."
- If Robinson was paying a dinner check at 9:47 PM that far from campus, she argues he could not also be where the Lance Twiggs text timeline reportedly places him later that night — waiting for officers near a wooded area, a midnight encounter with an officer, or a vehicle at a residence tied to a Ring-camera claim.
- She characterizes the wait staff's recollection as a "positive witness ID."
This is the poster's framing, not a site conclusion. The assertion that any messages were "fabricated" is her allegation; it is not established, and no individual is accused of a crime here. The texts themselves were introduced in the criminal proceeding, and their handling is disputed elsewhere in the Discord / text-message thread.
The receipt video

The clip is a silent pan across the receipt with the order and payment times underlined in red. It carries no audio narration — the evidentiary content is entirely visual (the printed fields above).
Why authenticating this receipt is important
Whether or not it holds up, this receipt is worth verifying carefully because a timestamped, card-backed record is one of the few pieces of evidence in this case that can be objectively checked — unlike eyewitness impressions or contested text messages. Two independent facts are printed on it: a time (9:47 PM on 9/10/25) and a payment instrument. Both can, in principle, be confirmed or refuted by records that already exist.
Open questions
- Which location? There are Cowboy's Smokehouse restaurants in more than one state. Which one issued Check #211, and what is the actual drive time from that restaurant to UVU (Orem) and to St. George?
- Whose card? Does the blurred Visa Debit card on the receipt trace to Tyler Robinson? Only law enforcement or a subpoena of the merchant's processor could confirm the cardholder — matching even the last four digits (as the poster suggests) would be significant.
- Reconcile with the Dairy Queen sighting. Candace Owens released a photo said to place Robinson at an Orem Dairy Queen at 6:38 PM on 9/10 (see Travel / Walking Path). A 6:38 PM Orem sighting and an 8:55 PM–9:47 PM Cowboy's Smokehouse check are only compatible if that restaurant is roughly within two hours of Orem — which would also test the poster's "3+ hours from UVU" claim.
- Reconcile with the text timeline. If the payment time is genuine, does it leave Robinson enough time to be where the Lance Twiggs texts reportedly place him later that night?
Until those checks are done, the receipt is best treated as an unverified lead worth chasing, not an established alibi — which is precisely why the poster stresses that the card number is the thing to confirm.
