LINDEN, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say the man wanted for questioning about bombs found in New York and New Jersey was found sleeping in a bar hallway before his arrest.

Linden, New Jersey, Mayor Derek Armstead says the owner of a bar found the man sleeping in his hallway Monday morning.

He says the man was initially presumed to be a vagrant, but police officers who responded quickly realized it was Ahmad Khan Rahami.

Armstead says the man pulled out a handgun and fired at the officers, hitting one in a bulletproof vest. The man then began firing as he ran down the street and police shot him in the leg. The man was conscious when he was taken away in an ambulance.

Linden police Capt. James Sarnicki says three police officers were taken to the hospital. One was hit by shrapnel and another had high blood pressure.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The space used to treat patients at a now-closed state mental health institute in southwest Iowa is reopening under new management.

The Iowa Department of Corrections is expected to sign a contract this month with a company to lease four wards at the facility once known as Clarinda Mental Health Institute.

Zion Recovery Services, which offers substance abuse treatment, wants to expand its residential services. The three-year contract could complicate any effort to reopen the space as a state-run mental health facility.

The Iowa Supreme Court is in the midst of reviewing a lawsuit that challenges Gov. Terry Branstad’s decision last year to close the institute along with a facility in Mount Pleasant. Attorneys for plaintiffs in the lawsuit want the closed centers to reopen.

MT. VERNON, Mo. (AP) — A 49-year-old southwest Missouri man has been charged in the death of a man whose body was found last week in a parked vehicle.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Michael W. Jones has been charged in Lawrence County with second-degree murder in the death of 49-year-old Timothy Goodman of Mount Vernon.

Jones is also charged with abandonment of a corpse.

The patrol says Jones is being held at the Lawrence County Jail on $500,000 bond. It’s unclear if Jones has a lawyer.

The Joplin Globe reports a police officer on patrol last week in Mount Vernon discovered the victim in a parked vehicle.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities arrested a man after he used his pickup truck to hit two other men at a Little League complex near Des Moines before crashing into a concession stand.

Polk County Sheriff’s Sgt. Brandon Bracelin said the incident happened around 8:40 Sunday morning at the Highland Park Little League complex.

Three men were cleaning up debris that was left at the complex from a Saturday event before the incident happened.

The suspect left for breakfast, and then returned in his truck and hit the other men. Then he crashed into a concession stand, jumped out of his truck and chased someone.

It took several officers to arrest the suspect. He was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Authorities have not released any of the names of the men involved.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas budget woes haven’t touched the state’s executive aircraft, which is getting a new paint job, a spruced up interior and upgraded avionics this year. Along with regular operating costs, the improvements will cost taxpayers nearly $900,000.

The Kansas Highway Patrol, which oversees aircraft operations, says the work on the 15-year-old plane is needed for aesthetic and safety reasons.

The nine-passenger plane has the original paint, interior and avionics it had when it was purchased new in 2001, and the aging plane is now showing wear.

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley called the spending “highly ironic” at a time when funding for highway projects has been slashed.

HARRISONVILLE, Mo. (AP) — Authorities are investigating after a body was found in a roadside ditch in western Missouri.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office said in a release that a passerby found the body Sunday in a ditch along Interstate 49 about 2 miles north of Harrisonville.

The sheriff’s office says detectives don’t believe the victim, who is identified only as a white woman in her 20s, is related to any other ongoing investigations in the area.

An autopsy is planned to determine a cause of death and a positive identification.

PERU, Neb. (AP) — Three men were injured in stabbing incident in southeast Nebraska involving Peru State College students.

The Nemaha County Sheriff’s office said the incident happened around 10:15 p.m. Saturday.

Two of the men were transferred to a Lincoln hospital for treatment while the third victim was treated and released.

Authorities didn’t immediately identify the victims or explain what led to the dispute.

FBI agents and police have converged on an apartment near a New Jersey train station where one of five devices found in a backpack exploded while a bomb squad robot was attempting to disarm it. It wasn’t immediately clear if there was a connection between the dwelling and the blast at the Elizabeth train station at around 12:30 a.m. Monday.

Authorities converged on the apartment just before 6 a.m.

Two men had reported seeing wires and a pipe coming out of a package after finding it at the train station around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. There were no reports of injuries.

New Jersey Transit trains resumed service along the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line, but there are delays.

Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor service is operating on a modified schedule.

Meanwhile, authorities in New York say they’re questioning several people in connection with an explosion that injured 29 people in Manhattan Saturday night, as well as an unexploded pressure-cooker device found blocks away and an earlier pipe bomb blast in New Jersey.

Authorities say the FBI pulled a suspicious car over in Brooklyn Sunday night and took the occupants to an FBI building for questioning.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has cut $59 million of spending for schools, roads and other programs to counteract new tax breaks enacted when lawmakers overrode his vetoes.

Nixon announced the budget cuts Thursday, a day after lawmakers overrode his vetoes.

The cuts include more than $24 million for K-12 schools, $20 million for highway projects, more than $8 million for higher education and more than $4 million for agricultural programs.

Nixon said the cuts were necessary to offset two newly enacted tax breaks — an income tax deduction for agricultural disaster aid payments and a sales tax exemption for instructional classes such as dance lessons.

Lawmakers have disputed Nixon’s cost estimates for the tax breaks.
