WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man will stay behind bars until trial for his role in an alleged conspiracy by a militia group to detonate truck bombs at an apartment complex where 120 Somali immigrants live.

Curtis Allen waived his detention hearing Monday and entered a not guilty plea, the only plea a federal magistrate judge can accept at this stage of the court proceedings.

Allen and co-defendants Patrick Stein and Gavin Wright are charged with conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction in the meatpacking town of Garden City.

Prosecutors allege they are part of a militia group that calls itself “The Crusaders.” The government contends they planned to attack the apartment complex, which contains a mosque in one of the units, the day after the November election.

EUDORA, Kan. (AP) — The license for a Eudora day care is under emergency suspension after a 9-month-old boy died there last month.

Eudora Police Capt. Daniel Flick says officers received a report Sept. 29 of an unresponsive infant at the Sunshine Kids Group Daycare Home. When officers arrived they found staff administering CPR to the boy, who was later pronounced dead at a Lawrence hospital.

Flick says a preliminary autopsy led investigators to believe the boy’s death was suspicious and the department asked Douglas County authorities for help with the investigation.

The emergency suspension is under appeal and awaiting a hearing.

Flick says no arrests have been made in the case.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports a representative for Sunshine Kids Group Daycare Home declined to comment on the incident.

KANSAS CITY — Police are investigating a man’s death after his sport utility vehicle plunged from a highway bridge.

Police tell The Kansas City Star workers at a construction company were retrieving pipes Monday from the company’s scrap yard near the US-71 bridge when they found the mangled vehicle and the driver’s body.

Kansas City police Sgt. Bill Mahoney says the vehicle was southbound when it went over the barrier and plunged onto a pile of pipes. Mahoney said the driver died from injuries in the crash.

Police believe the crash occurred sometime well before the vehicle was found.

The driver’s name was not immediately released.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man has pleaded no contest to felony theft in the disappearance of Louie the Clown and other items from the former Joyland Amusement Park.

The Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office says 41-year-old Damian Mayes of Wichita entered the plea on Friday.

The items were found in February 2015 at Mayes’ home. Mayes was an employee of the park who helped build and repair organs. The nearly life-sized carved clown played an automated organ near Joyland’s entrance for decades before the park closed in 2006.

The clown statue disappeared from Joyland sometime in 2005 or 2006 and was officially reported stolen in 2010.

Mayes is already serving a sentence in for a 2010 conviction on child sex crimes.

He will be sentenced for the Joyland thefts Dec. 13.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is confirming that premiums will go up sharply next year for health insurance sold to millions of consumers through HealthCare.gov.

Before taxpayer-provided subsidies, premiums for a midlevel benchmark plan will increase an average of 25 percent across states served by the federally run online market.

The number of insurers serving the federal market will drop from 232 to 167, a loss of about 28 percent.

Administration officials say that despite the sobering numbers, subsidies designed to rise alongside premiums will insulate most customers from sticker shock. And they add that consumers who are willing to shop for a cheaper plan will still be able to find bargains.

Sign-up season starts Nov. 1, and window-shopping for plans and premiums is already available.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The state’s self-defense law is in legal limbo while the Kansas Supreme Court prepares to consider the issue.

The Topeka Capital Journal reports that twice earlier this month, the Kansas Court of Appeals overturned district court rulings that invoked the stand-your-ground law.

Because of the rulings, one man could now stand trial for attempted voluntary manslaughter and another for first-degree murder. Previously, the men had been shielded from prosecution.

The rulings come as the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments in a separate stand-your-ground case, possibly as early as mid-December.

The key question is: How should district courts determine whether someone is acting in self-defense or in defense of others? So far the Kansas Supreme Court has given little direction to district courts on the issue.
