FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska prosecutor says more than 180 cases may have been jeopardized by results from an alcohol breath-testing device that hadn’t been calibrated to state standards for nearly three years.

Dodge County Attorney Oliver Glass said in a news release Wednesday that the individuals in those cases and their attorneys have been notified.

They also were told that drunken driving can be proved by impairment, breath alcohol content or both. So, the news release says, the problem with the breath-testing device “does not automatically mean that the conviction would be overturned in a court of law.”

Glass says the device was used at the Sheriff’s Office in Fremont and was not properly calibrated between August 2012 and July 2015.

O’FALLON, Ill. (AP) — The two-state battle for a federal spy agency’s new regional headquarters is heating up.

Hundreds of local residents packed an O’Fallon, Illinois community center Wednesday evening for a public meeting on the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency project.

The defense and intelligence agency is considering four sites to replace its current location near the Anheuser-Busch brewery.

Civic boosters in the Metro East suburbs of St. Louis call a tract near MidAmerica Airport the clear choice. They cite its proximity to Scott Air Force Base and St. Clair County’s offer to donate the land.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon plans to meet with federal officials Thursday in a bid to keep the agency in the city at a north St. Louis site.

The federal government is also considering two locations in St. Louis County.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to receive the 2015 Dole Leadership Prize at the University of Kansas.

The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics said Wednesday that Bill Clinton will get the prize at the university November 23rd.

Dole, a former senator from Kansas, said in a statement that he speaks with Bill Clinton “now and then,” and that he and the former president have become friends. Clinton served as president from 1993 to 2001.

Previous winners of the The Dole Leadership Prize, which is awarded each year, include Nelson Mandela, former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former President George H.W. Bush.

SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City man faces federal charges in an Overland Park bank robbery.

The U.S. attorney’s office says 19-year-old Mamoudou M. Kaba, of Shawnee, was indicted Wednesday on one count of bank robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm during a robbery.

No attorney is listed for him in online court records.

Prosecutors allege that Kaba used a Ruger 9 mm handgun in September when he robbed a U.S. Bank branch. He faces up to 25 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 if he is convicted of the bank robbery charge.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police are searching for a woman who allegedly got on a school bus in St. Louis and attacked two teenagers with a box cutter.

The woman was among several adults who got on the bus Monday afternoon and attacked the teens.

A 16-year-old boy was stabbed in the lower back and a 16-year-old girl had a cut on her hand. Both were taken to a hospital, but details about their injuries were not released Wednesday.

Police say they know the identity of the suspect.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services is facing criticism over a Facebook posting in which she used the phrase “slow learners” while criticizing a proposed voter registration program. Agency Secretary Kari Bruffett said in an email Wednesday that spokeswoman Angela de Rocha’s posting wasn’t referring to the developmentally disabled. Bruffett said de Rocha was “stunned” by that interpretation.

The posting was on an Associated Press reporter’s Facebook page, under a link to a story about a proposal for a special course for college students struggling with voter registration requirements. The posting said, “Do we want these slow learners voting?”

Executive Director Tim Cunningham of the Chanute-based Tri-Valley Developmental Services called the comment offensive. Kansas Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley said disciplinary action should be considered.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska has written letters to the Nebraska School Activities Association encouraging the organization to draft a policy that respects transgender students’ participation in sports.

The association’s board has met in executive sessions to discuss a proposed policy on transgender students. Executive Director Jim Tenopir says a vote on a policy is unlikely to happen in November.

Tenopir has met with more than 20 groups, including school administrators, to gather input about the policy.

The ACLU offered advice, including a guide that shows school administrators and others how to provide welcoming environments for transgender students.

Representatives of religious and conservative groups have told the board that it should require students to play in sports based on the gender on their birth certificate.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri appeals court has ruled that a man who claims he was fired because he’s gay can’t sue for discrimination.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports Tuesday’s 2-1 decision by the Western District Missouri Court of Appeals says the state law barring discrimination based on sex only covers gender-based actions.

Chief Judge James Welch said the court’s decision was bound by the legislature’s choice to not include sexual orientation in the Missouri Human Rights Act’s protections.

James Pittman’s lawsuit in Jackson County against Cook Paper Recycling Corp. accused the company’s president of harassing him about his sexual orientation. The lawsuit was dismissed in February 2013, and Pittman appealed that decision.

Pittman’s attorney Lynne Bratcher said she will try to get the Missouri Supreme Court to hear the case.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The scores of Missouri schoolchildren on a test known as the nation’s report card have held relatively steady.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress results were released Wednesday. They show that reading scores held steady for Missouri fourth and eighth graders over the last two years, while nationally they were flat for fourth graders and lower for eighth graders.

Nationally, math scores slipped. In Missouri, the math scores for fourth and eighth graders also were lower — but only slightly.

Meanwhile, the state’s rank improved in two areas, going from 39th to 29th in fourth-grade math and from 26th to 17th in eighth-grade reading.

Missouri Education Commissioner Margie Vandeven says work remains for “ALL our children to be successful in high school and post-secondary education.”

WARRENTON, Mo. (AP) — A former Warren County sheriff’s deputy has been accused of shooting his own patrol car to back up his claim of being the target of an ambush-style shooting.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 41-year-old Linkee Israel Carrillo fired multiple shots at the hood and windshield of his car in an effort to prove he was shot at by three men in on Jan. 31 in Reifsnider State Forest.

Sheriff Kevin Harrison said Tuesday that Carrillo compromised the safety of officers who responded to the report.

Carrillo was charged Monday with making a false report, tampering and falsely claiming to have earned a Purple Heart and other military honors. He was released from jail after posting $10,000 bail.

Online records didn’t list an attorney for Carrillo.
