SEWARD COUNTY, NE —State troopers arrested two people and seized more than 1,600 pounds of edible marijuana products, THC wax, and marijuana during a traffic stop on Interstate 80, approximately 160 miles north of Salina, Kan., according to a media release from the Nebraska State Patrol.
The traffic stop occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. October 11, when a trooper observed an eastbound 2018 Dodge Caravan speeding near mile marker 385. During the traffic stop, the trooper detected criminal activity and conducted a search of the vehicle.
Troopers found 488 boxes containing 50 THC candy bars in each box, 465 units of THC wax, and 11 pounds of marijuana. The total weight was 1,640 pounds. Estimated street value of the illegal products is more than $550,000.
The driver, Anthony Iovieno, 44, and passenger, Casey Pichette, 38, both of North Grafton, Massachusetts, were arrested for possession of controlled substances with intent to deliver. Both were lodged in Seward County Jail.
DENVER (AP) — Not the wintry weather nor the Denver Broncos’ spongy defense could slow down Todd Gurley .
The Rams running back rumbled for a career-high 208 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries and Los Angeles celebrated defensive coordinator Wade Phillips’ homecoming Sunday with a 23-20 win over the reeling Denver Broncos.
“I wouldn’t be able to do it without those guys up front,” said Gurley, whose previous high was 159 yards at Green Bay in 2015. “It was kind of easy for me, honestly, because those guys did such a great job.”
And Denver’s defense succumbed again.
A week after allowing 323 yards rushing in a loss to the Jets, including 219 by Isaiah Crowell, the Broncos were gashed for 270 yards on the ground.
“We knew we were going to be a little bit leaky in the run today because the pass was our focus,” Von Miller said. “But 270 yards is just, you know, ridiculous.”
“We didn’t tackle well. We didn’t fit well,” Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. “That’s two weeks in a row — unacceptable.”
The Rams, who had surrendered 31 points in back-to-back games, improved to 6-0 in sending the Broncos (2-4) to their fourth straight loss.
The Broncos pulled to 23-20 on Case Keenum’s 1-yard dart to Demaryius Thomas with 1:22 remaining, but Rams receiver Robert Woods knocked Brandon McManus’ onside kick out of bounds, and the Rams ran out the clock with Keenum’s one-time understudy Jared Goff (14 of 28 for 201 yards on his 24th birthday) twice taking a knee.
Phillips was the Broncos’ beloved bandmaster when they were celebrating their Super Bowl 50 triumph, but his contract wasn’t renewed after the 2016 season and he joined Sean McVay in sunny Southern California.
After an overnight snowstorm, the game-time temperature of 25 degrees marked the second-coldest in Denver prior to November in franchise history.
The cold did nothing to slow down Gurley, who scored his 10th and 11th touchdowns of the season.
One was on a 10-yard run on fourth down that gave the Rams a 13-3 halftime lead, the other, a 1-yard run that made it 20-3.
COSTLY FOUL
Gurley’s first score came after a boneheaded move by Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who thought he had a 44-yard TD catch and jabbed a finger in cornerback Troy Hill’s face, drawing a taunting foul.
Upon review, Sanders was ruled down at the 1, and the unsportsmanlike 15-yard penalty pushed the Broncos back to the 16.
Instead of an extra point to give Denver a 7-6 lead, McManus ended up kicking a 28-yard field goal.
Sanders, who had a 22-yard TD catch in the second half, blamed himself for the loss.
“Me, honestly, I feel like the league is getting soft,” Sanders said. “I’m having fun. I didn’t do anything crazy to the guy besides say, ‘Hey, I got you on that play.’ I pointed my finger at him. And they threw the flag.”
He said he’s done that his whole career.
“It was a great throw by Case. I came down with it. Emotions are high. It’s not like I walked up to him and head-butted him or something,” Sanders said. “But it cost my team. We lost by three points. I feel like we could have easily punched that ball in and gotten four (more). I guess this loss is on me.”
STILL THE SAME
Joseph promised changes this week but those alterations were either cosmetic or schematic — and, ultimately, fruitless.
Max Garcia replaced right guard Connor McGovern, but McGovern rotated back in and Garcia moved over when left guard Ronald Leary (ankle) got hurt in the third quarter.
If the Broncos had better options, scuffling cornerback Bradley Roby — who again gave up big plays — and left tackle Garett Bolles — who was flagged for his NFL-high sixth holding call Sunday — also might have been benched.
Bolles and Garcia had holding calls that pushed Denver out of scoring range.
Roby took over Aqib Talib’s starting spot when the Broncos traded Talib to the Rams in the spring. Talib is sidelined by an ankle injury.
Still, Talib made the trip with his teammates, walking with a boot on his left foot and a crutch under his right arm and was on the sideline during warmups.
SACK ATTACK
Miller snapped a three-week sackless streak with 1 1-2 sacks and rookie Bradley Chubb had three sacks.
“It’s good that I get to the quarterback three times, but it’s not good enough,” Chubb said.
QUICK FIX?
The Broncos have a short week before going to Arizona on Thursday.
“So, we can’t get caught up on this game, as much as I want to,” Miller said. “I hate losing more than I love winning. … The only good thing about this is we’re back in the lab tomorrow and we’ve got a game on Thursday.”
INJURIES
Rams WR Cooper Kupp was carted off the field after wrenching his left knee when Broncos S Darian Stewart horse-collared him on the Broncos sideline after a 12-yard jet sweep in the second quarter, but he made a surprising return in the second half. OLB Matt Longacre (back) and LT Andrew Whitworth (possible concussion) also left the game.
Broncos S Dymonte Thomas (chest) and Leary got hurt and didn’t return.
UP NEXT:
Rams: Wrap up three-game road swing with a visit to San Francisco.
Broncos: Have a short week to get ready for a game at Arizona on Thursday night.
WICHITA, KAN. – A Kansas man pleaded guilty to robbing a Quik Trip in Wichita, according to U.S. Attorney Stephan McAllister.
Samuel L. Vliet, 26, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of robbing a commercial business. In his plea, he admitted that on July 18, 2018, he robbed a Quik Trip at 110 S. Rock Road in Wichita. After Vliet left the store with money from the register, investigators lifted prints from a door where the clerk saw the robber touch the glass. The prints helped investigators identify Vliet and arrest him.
Sentencing is set for Jan. 3. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
KDOR
TOPEKA—Many Kansas drivers will have the option to renew their license online starting October 23, just one customer service improvement in a list that includes new Monday hours and faster customer processing time, the Division of Vehicles announced.
The option for some drivers to renew using the iKan mobile application comes alongside the launch of KanLicense, a software program that updates the interface used by driver’s license examiners from an outdated mainframe system to a cloud based application. The modernized software program should decrease customer processing time.
“We are so pleased to jumpstart improved customer service with these new applications,” Director of Vehicles David Harper said. “The combination of these two new platforms set the stage for the long-term reinvention of the process of obtaining or renewing a license or ID across Kansas.”
Starting October 29, the new schedule for most driver’s license offices will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The addition of Monday service, plus the option for mobile renewals and faster counter service should ease pressure and wait times during the week. Opening for service on Saturdays will remain an option during peak times such as spring break.
“We are significantly expanding our capacity to serve our customers,” Director Harper said. “We will be open normal business hours everyone is accustomed to, but also offer 24/7 access for renewals on the iKan mobile application.”
Director Harper noted that high demand will remain as Kansans come into the office to upgrade to a Real ID credential ahead of the October 1, 2020 federal implementation date.
“We are modernizing the credential process for the long-term, but many people will still have to come in to get their Real ID before the one-time federal implementation event,” Director Harper said. “We continue to encourage our customers to make sure they have all the documents they need before getting to the office.”
Driver’s and ID holders can use a Real ID checklist at ksrevenue.org/realid to ensure they have the necessary documents.
Driver’s license offices statewide will be closed Saturday, October 20 to prepare for the launch of the KanLicense system.
KANSAS CITY – A Kansas City man who was involved in a hit-and-run accident before leading police on a car chase that ended when he crashed into a pole and another vehicle, pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to illegally possessing a firearm.
James C. Coleman, 48, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge F. Sachs to being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to court documents, Coleman was involved in a hit-and-run accident at the intersection of E. 67th Street and College Avenue in Kansas City, Mo., at approximately 1 a.m. on Oct. 4, 2017. The driver of the vehicle that was hit told police officers that a Volkswagen station wagon (later determined to be driven by Coleman) failed to stop for the stop sign and struck his vehicle. He also told police officers that Coleman, who appeared to be high, got out of his car but then left the scene of the accident without exchanging any information.
A Kansas City police officer saw Coleman’s vehicle shortly after the hit-and-run accident. The officer fell in behind Coleman’s vehicle and watched as the station wagon struck a curb. The officer activated his patrol car’s emergency lights and siren, but Coleman refused to stop and a pursuit began.
The car chase continued until Coleman struck a city utility pole and crashed into a Lincoln Continental in the 6800 block of Bales Avenue in Kansas City. Officers noted the vehicle had damage on all sides with multiple air bag deployments. Coleman, who was still inside the overturned vehicle, was lying on his back across the passenger door with his legs coming out of the vehicle’s sun/moon roof. Coleman appeared as though he had tried to crawl out of the passenger side of the vehicle.
A police officer saw a loaded Smith and Wesson 9mm pistol lying inside Coleman’s vehicle. After pulling Coleman out of the vehicle, an officer saw a clear baggie that contained what was later determined to be six individual baggies of cocaine. Coleman was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for evaluation and treatment of his injuries.
Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition. Coleman has three prior felony convictions for drug trafficking and a prior felony conviction for stealing.
Under federal statutes, Coleman is subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Moeder. It was investigated by the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. – In their second road game of the weekend, the Fort Hays State women’s soccer team ended on a high note, collecting a 3-0 win at Lindenwood. The Tigers went 1-1 on the weekend after suffering a 1-0 loss to No. 17 Central Missouri on Friday. With the win, FHSU improves to 6-6-2 overall alongside a 4-3-0 mark in MIAA play. The Lions also now boast a 6-6-2 record and 3-3-1 conference total.
The morning matchup saw neither team able to take control in the first 45 minutes as the Tigers and Lions headed to the locker room scoreless. Both programs had their chances at getting on the board, with Fort Hays State attempting four shots while Lindenwood recorded three. However, all shots fell outside the net to keep the score evened.
The second half turned out to be the Cailey Perkins show, however, as she netted the first goal of the contest to put the Tigers up 1-0 in the 68th minute of play. Emily Naysmith was credited with the assist after she found Perkins on the right side seven yards out of the goal to give her the perfect spot for the shot. This goal would account for Perkins’ fourth of the season, a mark which puts her as the team leader.
Perkins was not done against the Lions as she earned her fifth goal of the season in the 73rd minute to give the Tigers the 2-0 advantage late in the contest. Nikita Woods was credited for the assist after she sent a pass through the left side down field for Perkins to send it past the Lions’ keeper.
The two Perkins goals would not be the only impact the freshman had on the game, as she recorded an assist on the third and final goal of the game. In the 87th minute, Perkins found Jenna Prince for a two-on-one opportunity as Perkins sent the ball back to Prince for the goal. This would be Prince’s first goal in a Tiger uniform.
The three Tiger goals would prove to be more than enough to give Fort Hays State their sixth win and boost their MIAA record back into the winning column. This shutout is the fourth on the year for Fort Hays State.
Deonna Wellbrock gets her first win of the season in goal for the Tigers to improve her record to 1-1. Wellbrock earned three saves on the day to total her season amount to 10. Megan Swanson takes the loss for the Lions alongside five saves to drop her record on the season to 3-5-2.
The Tigers out-shot the Lions by a wide margin at 13-4 with Perkins accounting for the most of all players at four. Lindenwood did hold the edge in saves during the match as they collected six compared to three from Fort Hays State.
Fort Hays State is set for another weekend of travel as they head back to Missouri next weekend. First up, they will meet Missouri Southern on Friday (Oct. 19) for a 6 p.m. kickoff. On Sunday (Oct. 21), the Tigers travel to Southwest Baptist to take on the Bearcats at 2 p.m.
HAYS, Kan. – A strong all-around effort lifted the Fort Hays State volleyball team to its second-straight victory Saturday evening (Oct. 13), knocking off Missouri Southern in four sets. The Tigers are now 8-15 on the year and 2-9 in MIAA play, while the Lions dip to 2-19 overall and 2-9 in league action.
The Tigers set the tone in the opening set, taking six of the first eight points. MSSU tied the match at six before Fort Hays State scored the next eight points, taking a commanding 14-6 lead. Kills from Azlyn Cassaday and Bre Becker opened the run before three-straight Lion errors stretched the lead to five. Abbie Groth dropped in a kill from the back line before Tatum Bartels and Cassaday added consecutive kills to put the Tigers in front by eight. Missouri Southern closed within five later in the frame, 19-14, but the Tigers countered with five-straight points to reach set point. A service error two points later gave Fort Hays State a 25-15.
Missouri Southern took an early three-point lead in the second set after a service ace put the Lions in front 8-5. The Black and Gold stormed in front thanks to a nine-point run, taking a 14-8 lead. A kill from Morgan West leveled the score at eight before Ashley Webb gave the Tigers the lead for good. West and Webb then combined for a big block, forcing a Lion timeout. FHSU later stretched the lead to nine, 21-12, after back-to-back Lion errors. A kill from Cassaday gave the Tigers a serve for the set, 24-18, before the Lions captured the next three points to close within three. The rally was short-lived, however, with a Lion service error giving FHSU a 25-21 victory.
Neither side could pull away in the third set, with the margin staying within three until the final point in the set. Trailing by three late in the set, back-to-back kills from Reynolds and a service ace from Bartels tied things up at 18. MSSU scored three points of its own before the Tigers rallied to tie things up yet again at 21. The back-and-forth set came to a close after Missouri Southern scored the final four points, sealing a 25-21 win.
The first 14 points of the fourth set were split evenly between the teams before FHSU went on an 8-1 run to jump in front, 15-8. The Tigers went on to cruise to another 25-15 win, finished off by a block from Cassaday and Christianna Herron.
Reynolds paced the Tigers with 16 kills, while Cassaday added 10 kills and 22 digs for her second consecutive double-double. West logged eight kills, two digs and one block. Becker tossed up 40 assists for the second night in a row, adding four kills and 14 digs.
Fort Hays State tallied a .221 attack percentage as a team, while holding the Lions to a .130 swing rate. The Tigers limited the visitors to a -.094 attack rate in the opening set.
The Tigers will continue their homestand Tuesday when they host No. 3 Nebraska-Kearney at 6 p.m. inside Gross Memorial Coliseum.
DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) — Groundbreaking for an expansion project at the Dodge City Boot Hill Museum is scheduled for Nov. 1.

TOPEKA — At the League of Kansas Municipalities Annual Conference last week, the League presented Governor Jeff Colyer, M.D. with the 2018 Intergovernmental Leadership Award.
Since 1995, the Intergovernmental Award seeks to honor those who support cooperation between the various levels of government. Recipients of this award have demonstrated, in both promise and practice, an understanding that public servants at all levels serve the same citizens and should work together to provide the best service possible.
The Governor’s Office was supportive of some of the League’s legislative efforts during the 2018 session. He signed bills authorizing the Joint Legislative Transportation Task Force and the Statewide Broadband Expansion Planning Task Force, both of which have League representation. He signed HB2597 which amends when a mayor is considered a member of the governing body under K.S.A. 12-104. The Governor also signed H Sub for SB310, the bill that clarified the previously adopted Amusement Ride Act. In June, the Governor announced that the Federal Fund Exchange Program, which assists local governments in funding local transportation projects, would return to the $.90-cents-on-the-dollar exchange rate (the level was decreased in 2017).
Governor Colyer launched the “Land in Kansas” strategic economic development initiative in July which takes a comprehensive, multi-agency approach to economic growth. The key components of the plan include a new state marketing campaign, a top-down review of economic development programs in the state, and a pilot program to enable communities across the state to better target specific areas for economic growth. Under the plan, several state agencies will each appoint an economic development liaison who will serve as the primary contact for economic development projects. The campaign will highlight the opportunities for individuals and industry to live and do business in Kansas, while also showcasing the strategic advantages of the state – including our central location, well-trained workforce, and pro-business atmosphere.
“As Kansas residents, we all want this state to succeed and grow and become the envy of other states,” said Sartorius. “To bring this about, all levels of government need to be able to cooperate and recognize the important roles they each play in providing services to residents. We at the League are grateful for Governor Colyer’s partnership and leadership this year.”
The Governor signed SB331, a bill that designated the Flint Hills Trail State Park and Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park as part of the state park system. The bill also established the Flint Hills Advisory Council to study and assess the development, staffing, maintenance, and promotion of the Flint Hills Nature Trail. Other bills were signed in the 2018 legislative session which address municipal concerns including alcoholic liquor taxation, asset forfeiture, and new rules for law enforcement personnel records.
Governor Colyer is a fifth-generation Kansan raised in Hays. Dr. Colyer earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Georgetown University, a master’s degree in International Relations from Cambridge University, and a medical doctorate from University of Kansas, School of Medicine. Colyer was a White House Fellow under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, working in international affairs. Dr. Colyer and his wife Ruth reside in Johnson County and have been married since 1991. They have three daughters Alexandra, Serena, and Dominique.
We appreciate Governor Colyer’s efforts and public service. We appreciate his willingness to engage in an open dialogue and work to foster a greater quality of life for the residents of Kansas.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is heading toward a postelection showdown over President Donald
Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, as GOP leaders signal they’re willing to engage in hardball tactics that could spark a partial government shutdown and the president revs up midterm crowds for the wall, a centerpiece of his 2016 campaign and a top White House priority.
Trump is promising voters at rallies across the country that Republicans will bring tougher border security in campaign speeches that echo those that propelled him to office two years ago. House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., promised a “big fight” over the border wall money and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has not ruled out a mini-shutdown as GOP leaders look to help Trump “get what he’s looking for” on the wall.
“Democrats want to abolish America’s borders and allow drugs and gangs to pour into our country,” Trump said without evidence Wednesday during a swing through Erie, Pa.
“Right after the election we’re doing something very strong on the wall,” Trump added Thursday in an interview on “Fox & Friends.”
Republicans steered clear of shutdown politics ahead of the Nov. 6 midterm election. They know voters have soured on government dysfunction, hold low views of Congress and are unlikely to reward Republicans — as the party in control of Congress and the White House — if post offices, national parks and other services are shuttered.
GOP leaders struck a deal with Democrats earlier this year to fund most of the government into next year. They presented their case to Trump in a White House meeting in September — complete with photos of the border wall under construction. Trump, who previously warned he would not sign another big budget bill into law without his border funds, quietly signed the legislation before the start of the new budget year Oct. 1.
Left undone, however, is the portion of the government that funds the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the border, and a few other agencies. They’re now running on stopgap funds set to expire Dec. 7.
The deadline sets the stage for a new round of budget brawls.
“We intend on having a full-fledged discussion about how to complete this mission of securing our border and we will have a big fight about it,” Ryan said in a speech at the National Press Club.
Asked if he made a commitment to Trump for a shutdown over wall funds, Ryan said blame would fall to Democrats, who are in the minority in Congress and largely oppose increased funding for the wall. Trump promised during the campaign that Mexico would pay for the wall — a claim Mexico rejects and Republicans routinely ignore.
“We have a commitment to go fight for securing the border and getting these policy objectives achieved,” Ryan said.
House Republicans approved $5 billion for Trump’s wall, including physical barriers and technology along the U.S. southern border, in a key committee, although it comes without Democratic support. A bipartisan bill being considered in the Senate allocates $1.6 billion for the wall, far short of the $5 billion the White House is seeking as part of a $25 billion, five-year plan to complete the project.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., upped the stakes Friday by introducing legislation for the full $25 billion in border funds as he bids for Ryan’s job as the speaker retires. McCarthy’s toured the southern border this week to make the case for the wall as he seeks to shore up support from conservatives skeptical of his possible leadership promotion.
McConnell predicted a “lively” lame-duck session and didn’t close the door on the possibility of a mini-shutdown.
“We’ve got a lot of work left to do,” he said in an AP Newsmakers interview. “That episode, if it occurs, would be in that portion of the government that we haven’t funded.”
Asked how much money Congress would try to secure for the border wall, McConnell said, “We’re going to try to help (Trump) get what he’s looking for.”
The chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said Senate Republicans are willing to fight for more than the $1.6 billion currently being considered, but stopped short of predicting how much money Congress would approve.
“I think it’s going to be a big fight . always because of the different views,” Shelby said.
The midterm results will play a key role in how the fight over wall funding is resolved. If Republicans lose the House majority, as some analysts predict, they will lose leverage, although the GOP would still be able to force House passage of a wall-funding package in the lame-duck session. Prospects are murkier in the Senate, where 60 votes are required to break a filibuster.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said “Democrats believe in strong border security,” but would not commit to a specific spending figure. “We’re going to keep fighting for the strongest, toughest border security,” he said.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A lawsuit alleges that a Kansas man who spent 23 years in prison for a double murder he didn’t commit was targeted because his mother rebuffed a homicide detective’s sexual advances.
Forty-two-year-old Lamonte McIntyre and his mother, 64-year-old Rose Lee McIntyre, sued Thursday in federal court. Lamonte McIntyre was freed last year . He was 17 when he was arrested in 1994 in the deaths of 21-year-old Doniel Quinn and 34-year-old Donald Ewing. They were shot in broad daylight in a drug-infested neighborhood.
No physical evidence linked him to the crime, and he didn’t know the victims. The lawsuit blames his arrest on a “dirty cop who used the power of his badge to exploit vulnerable black women.”
A police spokesman says the department is reviewing the lawsuit.
