SALINE COUNTY- Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are investigating an alleged drug suspect.

Just after 5 a.m. on Wednesday, officers were sent to a parking lot behind an apartment building at 111 E. Iron in Salina on a report of suspicious activity, according to police Captain Mike Sweeney.

As an officer approached a red Mustang, he noticed a chrome handgun underneath the legs of Earnest Skillern, 51, Topeka who was sitting in the driver’s seat.

The officer drew his weapon, and called for backup. When he tried to open the door of the car, Skillern drove off.

The car was found in a driveway in the 100 block of North Columbia a short time later.

A Kansas Highway Patrol K-9 helped locate Skillern not far away hiding underneath another car.

The dog also found a makeup bag on the playground of nearby Oakdale Elementary School with five small baggies containing methamphetamine and digital scales. Police believe Skillern threw the bag there.

A search of the car also found two additional handguns in the glove compartment.

Skillern was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of firearms by a felon, driving while suspended, and driving under the influence.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — One man is dead after a domestic dispute and house fire in Lawrence.

Police said they received a report of a domestic dispute early Wednesday. Sgt. Trent McKinley says during the dispute a man threatened occupants with a handgun.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports  that when officers arrived the other occupants had left the home, but authorities could see one man in the home. Police say a short time later the house was on fire. Fire officials say firefighters took a “defensive fire attack” from outside the home and did not enter because of the reported domestic dispute.

After the fire was extinguished, fire officials said one man was dead inside the home. The cause of death wasn’t released.

McKinley says the victim’s name hasn’t been released.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Federal wildlife officials and three U.S. zoos want a judge to drop a lawsuit against the recent importation of African elephants.

The Wichita Eagle reports that in a motion to dismiss the case, the Wichita, Dallas and Omaha zoos said legal concerns about the permit process are irrelevant because the 17 elephants were flown from Swaziland to the U.S. earlier this month.

Friends of Animals sued in February to stop the proposed importation, alleging that the government violated the law by approving the importation. The animal rights group hasn’t dropped the suit, saying it needs to prevent future importations.

The Connecticut-based nonprofit, as well as other conservationists and animal-rights supporters, opposes the importation of the elephants to zoos in Wichita, Dallas and Omaha because they’re highly intelligent, migratory animals.
