KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A Junction City man is facing up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine after being convicted of stealing his father’s identity to apply for a loan.

A federal jury in Kansas City, Kansas, on Thursday found 47-year-old Matthew Williams guilty of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Prosecutors say Williams used his father’s identity — including claiming to have won a Purple Heart in Vietnam — to take out a loan for a $490,000 house. He was in bankruptcy proceedings at the time.

Williams’s father, Earl Williams won a Purple Heart and other commendations for his service in Vietnam and Desert Storm.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Highway Patrol is investigating after a man died when the car he was riding in collided with a Kansas City, Kansas, police car.

The patrol says the accident happened late Thursday when a car made left turn in front of the police car on a Kansas City, Kansas, street.

The 31-year-old police officer suffered minor injuries.

A passenger in the car, 50-year-old Wendell L. Hall of Kansas City, was killed. The driver of the car, 37-year-old Fatimath Jones, was hospitalized with serious injuries.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A state inspection report says a suburban St. Louis pathology lab failed to provide the state with an unknown number of reports on fetal tissue from the St. Louis Planned Parenthood clinic.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch obtained an inspection report of the clinic that revealed the failure of Brentwood-based Pathology Services Inc., raising questions about how the state health department can be sure that fetal body parts from abortions aren’t sold illegally.

Pathology Services Inc. says it disposes of tissue samples through a biohazard medical company and sends pathology reports to the state as required.

But a March inspection report, citing an interview with a Planned Parenthood official, revealed the failure to submit reports to the health department.

A Planned Parenthood official says the reporting issue is resolved.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City officials say the supplier of streetcars for the city’s new downtown line is promising a new delivery date.

The cars were expected in July. City officials are concerned the streetcars won’t arrive in time for use by the thousands of people who attend the Big 12 conference basketball tournament in March. The city must conduct months of testing before the streetcars can be used by the public, and was hoping to get the cars by late September to allow time for the testing.

The Kansas City Star reports the manufacturer, CAF USA, of Elmira, New York, said the first four cars will be delivered by Oct. 29.

Deputy Public Works Director Ralph Davis says he’s not sure when the system will be ready for public use.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis’ top elected officials are discussing whether to purchase body cameras for the city’s police force, but finding money for the technology that’s estimated to cost up to $2 million appears elusive.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that no action was taken on the issue at the Thursday meeting of the three-member Board of Estimate and Apportionment.

St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green had suggested asking members of the Board of Alderman to use their “ward capital money” to buy the devices. Taxpayers every year through a half-cent sales tax contribute about $8 million that’s divided among 28 aldermanic wards.

Over a dozen board members signed a Thursday letter to Green, saying they don’t support the use of capital ward funds for the cameras and suggested finding alternative funding sources.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A Missouri man who says he killed three people in suburban Kansas City last year because he thought they were Jewish gets his chance to defend himself against a capital murder charge

It’s unclear how much evidence Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. will be allowed to present. He’s scheduled to present his defense on Friday.

Miller admits driving to two Jewish sites in Overland Park, Kansas, in April 2014 with the intent of killing Jews. He has pleaded not guilty because he says Jewish people are committing genocide against the white race and it was his duty to stop them.

None of the victims was Jewish.

Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan has warned Miller against presenting evidence that doesn’t address whether he fired the fatal shots.

Prosecutors finished their case Thursday.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A child advocacy group’s leader says parts of a new Kansas welfare law appear to conflict with federal child care policies, potentially jeopardizing more than $40 million a year in federal funds.  Kansas Action for Children CEO Shannon Cotsoradis raised additional issues Thursday about the welfare law approved by legislators this year.

Her comments came weeks after the state dropped a $25-per-day limit on ATM withdrawals with cash assistance cards following questions from federal officials.

Congress last year reauthorized a program providing federal grants for child care.

Cotsoradis said penalties in the new Kansas law for parents who don’t comply with regulations appear to run afoul of a policy in the federal reauthorization.

A spokeswoman for the state Department for Children and Families didn’t immediately return telephone messages seeking comment.

LENEXA, Kan. (AP) — Investigators have determined that the windshield on a Lenexa patrol cracked from a stress fracture and not from a bullet as earlier believed.

The Kansas City Star reports a stress fracture in the glass caused the rear window to shatter on the parked police car Thursday.

Authorities shut both a section of Kansas 7 for about three hours while police searched for a possible shooter after the officer reported the broken windshield.

Police said investigators determined that the stress fracture caused the window to “buckle and make a loud noise.”

They reopened the road shortly later Thursday afternoon.

During the search for a shooter, three schools in the area were placed on lock down.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Lottery says it will be selling Sriracha-scented scratch tickets as part of a new $2 scratch game.

It’s called Hot Sriracha, and each ticket contains a scent replicating that of the famous Asian sauce. The game offers three $15,000 top prizes and a total of more than $468,000 in cash prizes.

Acting Nebraska Lottery director Jill Marshall says in a news release that lottery officials think the new game “is the first Sriracha-scented scratch game ever made.”

Lottery spokesman Neil Watson said Thursday that tickets are being distributed and may be purchased wherever they’re offered.
