WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, the first anniversary of Secretary of State John Kerry’s signature of the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), U.S. Senators Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) again expressed frustration with the administration’s decision to sign U.N. ATT. Additionally, they are concerned with how the U.N. is handling the treaty’s implementation.

“It is deeply disturbing that the Government of Mexico, of all the nations in the U.N., has been selected to take the lead,” the senators said in a letter. “Our concern is increased by the fact that the Mexican Government is working closely, and behind closed doors, with advocacy organizations that share its desire to expand the treaty’s scope…If the Arms Trade Treaty were amended as Mexico desires, our worst fears about the Treaty’s impact on our Second Amendment rights would be realized.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A northwest Missouri couple pleaded guilty to a $567,000 bank fraud scheme involving construction projects in a Lee’s Summit subdivision.

Federal prosecutors say 51-year-old Dennis Key and his 49-year-old wife, Michal Ann Key, of Kingsville pleaded guilty Thursday in separate appearances.

Prosecutors say Dennis Key and his wife conducted different schemes to hide fees and increase his payments for work at the subdivision.

The Keys each face a sentence of up to 30 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $1 million and an order of restitution. Sentencing hearings have not been scheduled.

FERGUSON (AP) – Ferguson, Missouri’s police chief has marched with protesters, hours after issuing an apology to the family of Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old who was shot dead by a white police officer in August.

Police Chief Tom Jackson appeared outside the police department in civilian clothes Thursday night and assured protesters that there would be changes in the wake of Brown’s death.

He started to march with protesters when a scuffle broke out behind him. One protester was arrested. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that at least three more protesters also were arrested Thursday night.

Earlier in the day Jackson, in a video released by a public relations firm, apologized to Michael Brown’s family, saying his body had been left in the street far too long.

A state grand jury is investigating the shooting, and Brown’s family is pressing for a full federal investigation. The U.S. Department of Justice is looking into possible civil rights violations.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — With October approaching, the Missouri State Highway Patrol is reminding motorists to watch out for deer.

Deer are most active during the mating season of October and November, and the majority of accidents involving deer occur in those months.

In addition to mating season, hunting and crop harvesting may cause more movement among the animals.

The patrol says motorists who see a deer should slow down and proceed with caution. Deer often travel in groups so if you see one, there may be more to follow.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — State Treasurer Ron Estes says the Kansas Cash booth at this year’s state fair resulted in more than $750,000 in unclaimed property being returned to its rightful owners.

The treasurer says the number of people stopping at the booth and searing for missing money in a computerized database this year was far greater than in recent years. More than 2,400 claims were filed, with the largest being for more than $93,000.

Estes says the unclaimed assets come from forgotten bank accounts, stocks, bonds, insurance premium overpayments, refunds and other sources.

Those who didn’t check for property at the fair can do so online at www.kansascash.com or by calling 1-800-432-0386.

KANSAS CITY (AP) – A grand jury is expected to get the case of a 34-year-old man accused of fatally shooting three Kansas City residents and brutally beating two others who later died.

Brandon Howell is facing a dozen charges in the Sept. 2 attacks, including three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of 88-year-old Alice Hurst, her son, 63-year-old Darrel Hurst, and 69-year-old Susan Choucroun.

Charges have not been updated in the beatings of George and Ann Taylor, who died after the other counts had been filed.

Assistant Jackson County prosecutor Ted Hunt on Thursday asked Associate Judge Mary Weir to set a Nov. 24 arraignment for Howell, but said he first will submit the case to a grand jury.

Howell is being held without bond in Jackson County jail.
