ANTHONY, Kan. (AP) — A Harper County sheriff’s deputy says her bulletproof vest likely saved her life after she was pinned between two trucks during a traffic stop.

KWCH-TV reports Deputy Melanie Miller responded to a reckless driving call on Sunday. She says the truck driver sped away from her but was eventually cornered in an enclosed area. She says she got out of her police truck and drew her weapon.

Miller says the driver intentionally accelerated into her and pinned her between the vehicles.

Doctors told her that the vest saved her life. She says she only suffered some bruising and strained muscles.

The suspect was later arrested after he drove into a field and a farmer found him.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has received a $1.3 million federal grant for wellness programs.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports  Monday that the community health grant will be administered over three years by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The department director says the funding will be used to make it easier for children to walk or bike to school, improve the local food system and combat the use of e-cigarettes.

The funding will temporarily increase the department’s budget from about $300,000 annually to about $800,000. The department plans to hire more health employees and support a sustainable local food program.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas farmers are taking advantage of the mild weather to harvest fall crops, put up feed for cattle and seed wheat.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service said Monday that 31 percent of the winter wheat crop has now been planted. About 13 percent of it has already emerged.

Farmers also made progress on bringing in their fall crops. Corn harvest is 35 percent complete in the state, sorghum harvest was 5 percent done, and 2 percent of the soybeans have been harvested.

The fourth cutting of alfalfa hay is about 70 percent complete.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Officials at an airport where a massive cargo plane mistakenly landed and caused damage to its runway say repairs should be completed by the summer.

KAKE-TV reports  Jabara Airport officials held a meeting Monday night with aircraft owners and operators to discuss a timeline for the work. Officials say construction to repair the cracked pavement will begin in the spring.

A 747 cargo plane, called the Dreamlifter, caused the damage nearly a year ago. It was supposed to land at McConnell Air Force Base, 9 miles to the south.

Officials didn’t say how much the runway repairs would cost but say the Dreamlifter’s operator will pay for them.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas officials are waiting for word on whether state tax collections in September met expectations.

The state Department of Revenue’s report Tuesday afternoon was expected to renew a political debate over massive income tax cuts enacted at Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s urging. Brownback says the tax cuts are stimulating economic growth, but critics contend the reductions are wrecking the state’s finances.

The Legislature’s nonpartisan research staff is predicting that the state will face a $238 million budget shortfall by July 2016, even if tax collections meet the state’s official projections between now and then.

Kansas’ tax collections in July and August combined met expectations, but the collections in April, May and June fell a total of $334 million short of expectations.

KIOWA, Kan. One person was injured in an accident just after 3:30 p.m. on Monday in Harper County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2012 Freightliner truck driven by Kelly J. May, 48, Oklahoma City, OK., was westbound on Kansas 2 just west of Kiowa.

The truck traveled into the north ditch and the driver over-corrected. It crossed the highway and overturned in the south ditch.

NEWTON, Kan. — There was a bomb threat at Harvey County Community Corrections in Newton Monday morning. They then received a second report Monday afternoon.

According to Newton Police, officers were dispatched to the second report of an explosive device at around 4:50 p.m. The device was discovered near the intersection of SE 2nd and Ash and reported to be a grenade wired to some scrap metal. Once on scene, officers approached the device and were able to determine it was an inert training grenade, and removed it from the area.

They do not believe the second device was related to the earlier Improvised Explosive Device planted near Harvey County Community Corrections.

On Monday morning, they received a bomb threat near the community corrections building. The suspicious package was found outside in front of the building. Newton Police evacuated surrounding buildings as a precaution. That included the Hutchinson Community College Newton Center.

ATF agents and the Wichita bomb squad were on scene and they used a bomb squad robot to dismantled the package, which did contain a device. It included a bottle of fluid, a timer and electrical wires according to the Newton Police Department Facebook page. A bomb squad officer in protective gear went close to further investigate the contents. The device was eventually dismantled with no detonation.

Police are still investigating the incident. Police are asking anyone who may have information regarding the I.E.D. at the Harvey County Community Corrections, to call Sgt. Bryan Hall at the Newton Police Department at 316-284-6030. There is also a “fight crime” app on the Newton Police Department Facebook page, if someone wants to leave an anonymous tip.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican congressman says whistleblowers have told a congressional committee that the intruder who climbed a fence made it farther inside the White House than the Secret Service has publicly acknowledged.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He’s criticizing the Secret Service and its leadership for not doing more to stop the suspect earlier.

The disclosure comes on the eve of a congressional oversight hearing with the director of the embattled agency assigned to protect the president’s life.

The Washington Post and New York Times on Monday first reported that he intrusion on Sept. 19 was deeper than has been acknowledged.
