O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — A man injured during a confrontation with a Missouri state trooper is now facing felony charges.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 41-year-old Jeremy Eli McGhee of West Alton was charged Tuesday with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer. He is jailed on $20,000 bond.

The incident on Monday began when a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper saw a speeding vehicle pass several cars on the shoulder of Interstate 70.

A chase began, with the suspect — driving a Toyota Highlander stolen in Illinois — eventually pulling into an O’Fallon driveway.

The patrol says McGhee pulled out a realistic-looking BB gun. The officer fired several shots at McGhee that missed. Still, he suffered a leg injury that required hospitalization, perhaps from the bite of a police dog.

RICHMOND, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say one person has died after a single-engine plane crashed in northwest Missouri.

KCTV reports that Ray County Sheriff’s deputies and the Missouri State Highway Patrol responded Tuesday to reports of a small plane losing contact with air traffic controllers.

The Ray County Sheriff’s Department says the pilot, who was the only person on the plane, was killed in the crash. The victim’s identity hasn’t been released.

Investigators are working to determine the cause of the crash.

LONDON (AP) — Anheuser-Busch has announced a final agreement to buy Miller for $107 billion. It’s a deal that will combine the world’s two biggest brewers and create a company that makes almost a third of beer consumed worldwide.

SABMiller’s agreement to sell its 58 percent stake in a venture with fellow brewer Molson Coors for $12 billion should ease regulator concerns that AB InBev would have a stranglehold on the U.S. market after the merger.

The combined company doesn’t yet have a name.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former employee of a North Kansas City post office has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $5,000 from his employer.

Jacob Crisp, formerly of Kansas City, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to misappropriating federal postal funds.

Prosecutors say Crisp embezzled money by not properly recording stamp sales and other activities.

Officials believe this allowed him to reduce the amount of cash he remitted in his daily deposits. He also took money from the cash drawer and put it in his pocket.

Investigators estimated he stole about $200 per week, taking a total of $5,040 worth of retail transactions.

Crisp faces up to 10 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000 and an order of restitution.

Student protesters at the University of Missouri are removing an encampment in the center of campus that they’ve called home for more than a week.

Group members and their supporters began breaking down tents, folding up blankets and removing their belongings.

They began breaking camp Tuesday evening as forecasters predicted possible severe weather for Wednesday. Participants weren’t sure whether the tents would return after the severe weather passes.  Students have been protesting the schools’ handling of racial issues on campus.

The controversy of the last several weeks is not over. The University says it is investigating threats made on social media and has increased security on campus. A post Tuesday night on the college’s website says campus police are “aware of social media threats” and are investigating. The post doesn’t indicate the nature of the threats.

Campus police Captain Brian Weimer tells The Associated Press additional officers are on campus. A university spokesman couldn’t immediately be reached for further comment.

The University of Missouri system’s governing board planned to meet Wednesday afternoon. The Board of Curators’ meeting comes two days after system President Tim Wolfe and Columbia campus Chancellor R. Bowen resigned after protests of their response to complaints about racial strife on campus.

A news release says the curators are scheduled to meet at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and go into executive session at 4:35 p.m. The release doesn’t say what the board will be talking about.

Wolfe’s resignation is effective immediately. Loftin will resign Jan. 1 and take a new position promoting research efforts at the university.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A spokesman for the Kansas Department of Commerce says it is working on initiatives for keeping the state from losing all of its federal arts funds.

Agency spokesman Dan Lara said Tuesday that the agency is looking at partnering with other state agencies.

He said doing so would allow the department and its Creative Arts Industries Commission to count the spending on those projects — or even a contribution of employee time on them — as part of the state arts funding needed to qualify Kansas for federal funds.

A National Endowment for the Arts official told state officials in a September letter that Kansas must boost its state arts funding by nearly $225,000 by Jan. 15 or forfeit its $591,000 in federal arts dollars.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A Missouri man convicted of fatally shooting three people at Jewish sites in Kansas has been sentenced to death.

A jury convicted Frazier Glenn Miller Junior in August of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder, and assault and weapons charges. The same jury recommended that Miller be sentenced to death.

On Tuesday, Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan followed that recommendation and ordered the death penalty.

Miller is an avowed anti-Semite who admitted that he shot the three in April 2014 because he wanted to kill Jews before he died. The 74-year-old Aurora, Missouri man has chronic emphysema and says he doesn’t think he has much longer to live.

COLBY, Kan. (AP) — Some hotels are already seeing some wary travelers a day before a forecast for heavy snows and winds that could create blizzard conditions in northwest Kansas.

A few people have extended their stay Tuesday at the Hampton Inn in Colby in anticipation of the coming storm.

Hampton Inn front desk agent Debbie Martin says hotel employees are working hard to make sure all the rooms are ready in case they close Interstate 70.

At the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Colby, front desk agent Shelby Klippert said they got 10 cancellations of room reservations on Tuesday.

It was mostly slow Tuesday with the chilly weather, but no snow. But she expects the hotel will get super busy once the storm hits, especially if the interstate is closed down.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Protesters have been marching in Kansas City to protest low wages for certain workers.

The Kansas City Star reports that a rally began early Tuesday at a fast-food restaurant in mid-town Kansas City. The rally is scheduled to last all day and end this evening at City Hall.

The protest is expected to be among others planned across the U.S. to advocate for higher wages for an estimated 64 million American workers who make less than $15 an hour.
