TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A 24-year-old Topeka man faces charges accusing him of dragging a police officer during a traffic stop.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Dyllon Alan Tucker is charged with aggravated kidnapping and other charges stemming from the incident April 14.

Authorities said the officer stopped an SUV driven by Tucker, who then assaulted the officer and drove away, dragging the officer who had her arm in the car. As she was pulled down the street, the officer opened fire and wounded Tucker.

The officer was treated at a hospital and released.

The charges against Tucker were filed late Tuesday and became public Friday.

It’s unclear if Tucker has a lawyer. He’s being held in the Shawnee County Jail on a $500,000 surety bond.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A judge has denied a request to change the bond for a former Dallas Cowboys running back facing charges in Kansas.

Joseph Randle of Wichita is awaiting a preliminary hearing on February charges including aggravated battery. Police say he backed his car into three people while leaving a party. The Cowboys released Randle last year.

Randle’s attorney, James Crawford, sought to change bond conditions so Randle could be released to family instead of to the NFL Players Association. The Wichita Eagle reports NFL lawyers said the organization didn’t want to be liable for transporting Randle to a mental treatment facility if he bails out of jail.

But Sedgwick County Judge Kevin O’Connor on Friday denied the request, pointing out already-approved bond modifications, including decreasing it to $45,000 from $150,000.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A national analysis says Kansas is in the bottom third of states with the fewest exemptions allowing businesses to use drones in their operations.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the Federal Aviation Administration has approved 24 Kansas businesses to fly drones. The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International says its analysis of more than 3,000 exemptions nationwide found that of states bordering Kansas, only Nebraska, with 17, has fewer exemptions.

The exemptions allow companies to operate drones for commercial use until the FAA issues final rules on small unmanned aerial systems, which are drones weighing 55 pounds or less.

Some drone-related business owners say industry isn’t taking off in Kansas as quickly as they had expected. But a state official says the fledging industry is important to Kansas.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill says an election official had no authority to unilaterally modify a federal voter registration form to require proof-of-citizenship documents to register to vote in Kansas, Alabama and Georgia.

The Missouri Democrat released on Friday a letter sent to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission saying the actions of its executive director, Brian Newby, could cause irreparable harm to the commission. Worse yet, she says, it could deprive tens of thousands of American citizens of their rights to cast a ballot.

McCaskill asks commissioners to ignore Newby’s illegitimate actions and revert to its prior policies. She says the changes requested by the three states are policy changes that must be publically considered by the full commission.

The EAC did not immediately comment on her letter.

LANSING, Kan. (AP) — A former Kansas prison worker accused of smuggling methamphetamine into the Lansing Correctional Center has been sentenced to 13 months in prison.

The Kansas City Star reports that 60-year-old Jacqueline Doty of Fort Scott was sentenced Friday. She had pleaded no contest to possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.

Court documents say Doty was arrested in June 2014 after she was searched at the prison and found to be carrying about 14 bags containing meth.

Prosecutors said the bags were hidden in a “girdle-type undergarment” Doty was wearing, with large bandages wrapped around her midsection to hide them. One of the bags held about 14 grams of meth.

The rider witnessed another motorcycle go down in front of him, lost control and went down in the east ditch.

Gonzales was transported to Western Plains Medical Center.

He was wearing a helmet, according to the KHP.
