FORT RILEY, Kan. (AP) — The U.S. Army says it has suspended the commander of Fort Riley and launched an official investigation, though no details have been provided.

Army spokesman Col. Patrick R. Seiber announced Friday that Maj. Gen. Wayne Grigsby has been suspended as commander of the 1st Infantry Division at the Kansas base. He declined further comment. An Army spokeswoman also declined to disclose the nature of the investigation.

About 17,000 troops are stationed at Fort Riley. Grigsby assumed command of the base in August 2015, after 31 years of military service that included a stint as commander of the Combined Joint Task Force in East Africa.

Grigsby was previously stationed at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and served in multiple deployments to Iraq, including as commander of the 1st Infantry Division’s G3 unit.

Brigadier General Pat Frank, deputy commanding general, will be acting commander of the 1st Infantry Division while the investigation is underway.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska has announced it’s leaving the federal Affordable Care Act’s public insurance exchanges.

The state’s largest health insurer said Friday in a news release that it will leave the government health insurance marketplace effective Jan. 1.

The news release cited increased costs and decreased competition and consumer choice as other insurers across the country have bowed out of the exchanges.

Blue Cross Blue Shield says that since it began selling individual plans through the exchanges, “we have lost approximately $140 million.”

Its decision will not affect Medicare supplement or group plans.

With Blue Cross Blue Shield’s exit, only Aetna and Medica Health are left to offer individual policies on the exchange to Nebraskans for 2017.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri man has been arraigned on charges that he sexually attacked and suffocated his high school honors student daughter at a motel.

Forty-year-old Jerry Bausby’s first court appearance Thursday came two days after he was charged with first-degree murder, sodomy, incest and sexual abuse in the March killing of 18-year-old Daizsa Laye Bausby.

Online court records don’t show whether Bausby has an attorney to speak on his behalf. Bausby remains jailed on $750,000 cash bond.

Authorities say Daizsa Bausby’s body was found March 22 in a Kansas City motel room. A medical examiner concluded the teenager died of asphyxia by smothering.

Police say Bausby denied having sexual contact with his daughter, and that lab tests completed Monday show genetic material swabbed from Jerry Bausby’s body matched the victim’s DNA.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri state senator says a company that employs about 15,000 people in the St. Louis area should be disqualified from receiving tax credits or investments because it is doing business with Iran.

St. Louis County Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt is pushing legislation to block Missouri tax funds from being invested in any company that does business with a country the U.S. State Department has designated as a state sponsor of terrorism.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that includes the Boeing Co., which has a deal to sell 80 passenger jets to Iran’s state-owned airline.

Missouri lawmakers passed an incentive package for Boeing worth $1.7 billion in 2013 to lure production of a new commercial airliner to the state.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that the NFL’s Rams must grant season tickets to some people who bought personal seat licenses while the team was still in St. Louis, even though the team is now in Los Angeles.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh Jr. also said Wednesday that the Rams must refund deposits for other people who bought PSLs in St. Louis.

NFL owners in January approved the Rams’ move back to Los Angeles after 21 seasons in St. Louis.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the Rams would appeal. Messages left Thursday with the team and its attorneys were not immediately returned.

About 46,000 fans had PSLs, which give the holder the right to purchase season tickets, for the St. Louis Rams, some at a cost of up to $1,000.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Police officers and other emergency responders plucked a man from the rain-swollen Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis.

Sgt. Catherine Michal says the man, who is in his early 20s, was perilously close to being washed down the river Wednesday night until rescuers pulled him to safety. He was holding onto a rope when the first responders arrived.

Michal says the man and a friend were exploring near a storm drain that empties into the river, close to the University of Minnesota, when the water suddenly came up on him.

She says the current was so strong, it ripped some of his clothes off. Michal says the man was grateful he didn’t get swept away, but he’s feeling a little sheepish about the incident and is unwilling to be identified.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas faith-based group is hoping to overturn a law allowing concealed weapons to be carried on college campuses across the state.

Lawrence-based Kansas Interfaith Action representatives are visiting state universities to increase awareness of the issue and raise money. The Lawrence Journal-World reports the group also plans to lobby the Legislature to change the law once representatives return to session in January.

Gov. Sam Brownback signed the law in 2013 requiring concealed carry of handguns to be allowed in all publicly owned buildings unless the owners provide adequate security to prevent anyone from bringing weapons in.

Cities, counties and public colleges and universities were allowed to exempt themselves until July 1, 2017, so they could set new policies and planned for security measures.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state audit has found that Kansas spent more than $2 million fighting a backlog of unprocessed first-time applications for the Medicaid health care program that covers the poor.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the audit released Wednesday also found that the state has stopped reviewing renewal applications, although it continues to provide services to those waiting for renewal.

As of mid-August, nearly 35,000 renewal applications were waiting to be processed.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has sharply reduced the number of unprocessed applications from a peak of about 14,000 a few months ago. About 1,700 applications currently continue to linger for more than 45 days.

KDHE Deputy Secretary Aaron Dunkel says the agency has made good progress and would continue to make improvements.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas judge says he won’t allow the resentencing of a man convicted of killing abortion provider George Tiller to turn into a “political forum on abortion” or “a circus.”

The Wichita Eagle reports that Judge Warren Wilbert made the comments Wednesday while preparing for the start of Scott Roeder’s Nov. 28 trial. Roeder says he shot Tiller in 2009 in an attempt to end abortion.

Roeder’s life sentence with no chance of parole for 50 years was among many vacated after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that juries, not judges, must decide whether to increase punishment.

Jurors must decide whether to resentence him to at least 50 or 25 years before being eligible for parole. Prosecutors want the longer sentence and the defense the lesser term.
