WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumer inflation slowed in July following two months of slightly faster gains. The slowdown reflected in part the biggest drop in airline fares in nearly two decades.

The Labor Department says its consumer price index rose 0.1 percent in July following gains of 0.3 percent in June and 0.4 percent in May.

Energy costs edged up 0.1 percent but still remain 14.8 percent below the level a year ago. Food costs rose a modest 0.2 percent despite another big jump in the price of eggs, reflecting further fallout from the avian flu outbreak.

Over the past 12 months, consumer prices are up just 0.2 percent. Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food, has risen a modest 1.8 percent. Both figures show inflation pressures remain modest.

Florida emergency responders say another sinkhole has opened in the exact location where a hole opened in March of 2013 and swallowed a man as he slept in bed.

Ronnie Rivera of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue said Wednesday morning that the hole opened up again in Seffner, which is east of Tampa. The new hole is around 20 feet in diameter.

In March 2013, Jeffrey Bush was asleep in his bedroom on the property when the floor collapsed and he fell in. His body was never recovered.

After the tragedy, officials razed the home and two adjacent homes. Wednesday’s sinkhole is on a vacant lot that’s now surrounded by a metal fence.

Rivera says that no one has been injured from the new sinkhole and that no nearby homes have been evacuated.

OVERLAND, Mo. (AP) — An investigation is under way after a suspect jumped from a suburban St. Louis police car onto an interstate highway and died the next day from his injuries.

Authorities say 29-year-old Brian Strothkamp Jr. was being driven in an Overland police car to the St. Louis County Jail about 11 a.m. Friday. He had been arrested on a domestic assault charge.

Police say Strothkamp was handcuffed in the backseat when he managed to open the car door and jump onto Interstate 170. The officer who was driving the squad car is on administrative leave during the investigation.

Overland Police Chief Michael Laws told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that investigators are looking at how Strothkamp was able to get out of the car. There was no camera inside the police car.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court has upheld a state law banning felons from possessing firearms.

The court’s majority opinion Tuesday used a “strict scrutiny” standard to analyze whether the felon-possession law violated the right to bear arms.

Although that’s the same standard included in a constitutional amendment passed by voters in 2014, the court said its ruling was based on the previous version of the constitution. That’s because the defendants were charged based on incidents that had occurred in 2012.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Federal prosecutors say longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has agreed to plead guilty to engaging in sex acts with minors and receiving child pornography.

Documents released Wednesday by the U.S. attorney’s office in Indianapolis say the 37-year-old will plead guilty to one count of travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography.

The agreement filed by prosecutors ahead of an expected court appearance by Fogle says he agrees to: pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, each receiving $100,000, register as a sex offender and undergo treatment for sexual disorders.

It says the government will not recommend a sentence of more than 12½ in prison, while Fogle will not ask for a sentence of less than five years in prison.

Fogle attorney Ron Elberger says he has no comment “at this time.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The owner of a Kansas City tattoo parlor has been charged with 42 counts of invasion of privacy after hidden cameras were found in apartments of his tenants living above his store.  Jackson County prosecutors say 48-year-old Rodney Sanell used cameras to watch five tenants in various states of undress without their knowledge.

According to a news release, a 25-year-old woman contacted authorities last year after she said she found a strange looking smoke detector inside her apartment.

The statement says other tenants checked their smoke detectors and found audio and video recording devices.  According to authorities, police searched Sanell’s building and found 11 cameras inside apartments, including four in smoke detectors and seven in other locations such as bedrooms and bathrooms.

It was not immediately clear if Sanell has an attorney.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police say a Wichita man had no anti-abortion motives when he brought a small homemade explosive device into a women’s health clinic while applying for a job. Wichita police spokesman James Espinosa said Tuesday the 19-year-old was homeless and carrying everything he owned in his backpack when he went to the South Wind Women’s Center on Monday for an interview.

A security officer who searched the pack called police after finding knives and a small bottle with gunpowder inside and a fuse.

The man was arrested on suspicion of possession of an explosive device. Espinosa says the police investigation “absolutely ruled out” any intent for anti-abortion violence.

The clinic is in the same building where Dr. George Tiller provided abortions until an anti-abortion opponent shot and killed him in 2009.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri appeals panel has affirmed a lower court decision dismissing a Kansas City woman’s lawsuit seeking custody of children she raised with her lesbian partner.

But the appeals court also said in its ruling Tuesday that the woman, Melissa McGaw, could seek custody under a state statute.

McGaw sought joint custody of the two children in circuit court, but the case was dismissed when that court said she didn’t have standing under common law doctrines. McGaw and her partner had not married before they separated several years ago.

The appeals panel affirmed the lower court’s decision, but also said McGaw “has an available statutory remedy” under a Missouri statute that allows people who are not legal parents to seek custody if it’s in the best interest of the children.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kay McFarland, the first female chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, has died. She was 80.

Leina Cox, administrative assistant at Penwell Gabel funeral home in Topeka, said McFarland died Tuesday morning at home after an illness.

McFarland was appointed to the state Supreme Court in September 1977 by Gov. Robert Bennett, becoming the first woman appointed to the high court.

In September 1995 she became the court’s first woman chief justice, a position she held until retiring in 2009. McFarland was also the first woman elected as a Shawnee County district judge in 1972.

McFarland graduated from Washburn Law School when she was also the only woman attending classes full time. Her 31-year high court tenure is among the longest on record.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri board has approved $15 million in tax credits for a new St. Louis football stadium, part of a push by the state to counter efforts by Rams owner Stan Kroenke to move the team to Los Angeles. The Missouri Development Finance Board voted for the credits as the first step in a potential $50 million tax-credit plan over three years.

The approval came despite pushback from Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, a board member who is running for governor. Republican Rep. Jay Barnes of Jefferson City also spoke against it. He and other lawmakers are suing to block the state from taking steps to finance a stadium without legislative approval.

The tax credits represent a small chunk of the $998 million cost of the project.
