DETROIT (AP) — Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 86,000 trucks and police cars mainly in North America to fix a short circuit in the alternators that can cause engine stalling or fires.

The recall covers certain 2007 through 2013 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, as well as Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs. Also covered are some 2011 through 2014 Charger police cars.

The company says diodes inside the alternators can wear out under frequent hot-temperature use in commercial fleets. That can cause the short circuits. Fiat Chrysler says it’s aware of one possibly related injury but no crashes. There also have been fires, but an FCA spokesman says he can’t say how many.

FCA will notify customers when they can bring vehicles in for service.

WICHITA – A federal grand jury returned an indictment Tuesday charging a Salina man with producing and distributing child pornography, Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.

Michael N. Rodenbeek, 53, is charged with three counts of producing child pornography, one count of distributing child pornography, one count of possessing child pornography, and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm following a felony conviction. The crimes are alleged to have occurred in June, July, August and September, 2016, in Saline and Sedgwick counties.

A complaint filed in the case alleges a Wichita police detective accessed a file sharing network to download child pornography from Rodenbeek’s computer. Investigators learned that on June 18, 2016, Rodenbeek used an iPhone to record a 9-year-old girl and on July 19, 2016, he used an iPhone to record a 10-year-old girl.

If convicted, he faces a penalty of not less than 15 years and not more than 30 years on each count of production, not less than five years and not more than 20 years on the distribution count, up to 20 years on the possession count, and up to 10 years on the firearm charge. The Wichita Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hart is prosecuting.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Election officials in Kansas’ most populous county didn’t offer the easiest option for registering to vote until the day before voter registration ended.

The American Civil Liberties Union told The Associated Press it’s trying to determine whether other counties were doing the same thing.

The Kansas City Star reports Johnson County election officials until Monday only offered a form that requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.

After the newspaper questioned whether doing so violated the National Voter Registration Act, the office began providing a federal form that simply requires people to attest they are citizens.

Recent court decisions have blocked Kansas from requiring proof-of-citizenship documents from people who register when getting their driver’s license or when using the federal form. Voter registration ends Tuesday in Kansas.

CUNNINGHAM, Kan. (AP) — An 8-foot-long tusk of a mammoth uncovered earlier this year by a southern Kansas construction company has been moved to a lab at Wichita State University.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the tusk will be cleaned and prepped for display in the Kingman County city of Cunningham, where it was found as Skyland Grain LLC ran a sewer line across a grain elevator’s property.

Radiocarbon dating will be conducted to determine the tusk’s age.

The tusk was longer when first discovered, but part of it broke off during the project.

Wichita State associate anthropology professor David Hughes, who worked at tusk’s excavation site with his students, says the tusk belonged to a mammoth that was probably about 15 to 20 years about and was about 12 feet tall.
