TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled in favor of a former Shawnee County corrections officer who was sued by an inmate who claimed he wasn’t protected from another inmate.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports former Shawnee County Jail inmate Armando Ruiz contended former guard Emmanuel Clifton violated his constitutional rights when he failed to protect him from another inmate before a January 2012 altercation.

The 60-year-old Ruiz, who now serving time at El Dorado Correction Facility for indecent solicitation of a child, filed a handwritten lawsuit in March 2013 seeking $300,000 from Shawnee County, Clifton and county counselor Rich Eckert.

U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia last week ruled in Clifton’s favor because video footage showed Ruiz kicked the other inmate first.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Sen. Pat Roberts is airing a television advertisement in his re-election campaign in which he vows to filibuster any federal effort to house terrorism detainees at Fort Leavenworth that are now being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Roberts made the statement earlier this month while campaigning for re-election. He’s seeking a fourth term in a surprisingly competitive race with independent candidate Greg Orman, a Kansas City-area businessman.

President Barack Obama this month was weighing bringing detainees to U.S. federal prisons, such as Leavenworth.

Roberts has tried to paint Orman as a Democrat and automatic vote for Obama’s agenda, though Orman repeated Tuesday that he opposes bringing detainees to U.S. prisons.

Senate Republicans need to gain six seats to capture a majority and weren’t counting on having to defend GOP-heavy Kansas.

CHICAGO (AP) — Dietary supplements containing potentially dangerous prescription drug ingredients may still be for sale even years after safety recalls.

That’s according to researchers who bought supplements online that had been recalled for containing drugs. They detected hidden steroids, similar ingredients to Viagra and Prozac and a weight loss drug linked with heart attacks

Of 27 products tested, 17 still had the same drug that prompted the recalls.

The researchers say manufacturers are putting profit ahead of consumer health and that lax oversight by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is contributing to the problem.

The study appears in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association.

A supplement industry group says regulators should crack down on rogue companies.

The FDA has issued warnings but says companies can be hard to track down.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback says his opponent, Democratic challenger Paul Davis, would appoint justices to the Kansas Supreme Court who are overly sympathetic to violent criminals.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita-based nonprofit is trying to raise $300,000 to send eight solar-powered clinics to western Africa in response to the Ebola crisis.

The Wichita Eagle reports Clinic in a Can also will be collecting food locally and money for food to be purchased by aid organizations in Africa.

Clinic in a Can was founded by Mike Wawrzewski, a physician assistant, converting shipping containers into medical clinics. The eight clinics to be sent to Liberia are the first to be completely solar powered, which Wawrzewski says is necessary because of the country’s weak power system.

He says the clinics will be ready to ship in about three weeks if funding is in place. The containers will be packed with personal protective equipment for medical personnel who are treating Ebola patients.
