JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The director of Missouri’s public defender system is asking Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon for an additional $10 million.

Director Michael Barrett said Monday that the money is needed to help the agency adequately represent the state’s poorest individuals charged with crimes.

Nixon’s office did not have an immediate comment Monday about the request for more money.

Barrett cited a federal report released in July on the St. Louis County Family Court, which said young people accused of crimes often lack adequate legal representation.

Barrett says the agency’s most pressing need is to hire more public defenders.

Nixon cannot give the department $10 million without first asking permission from lawmakers during the legislative session beginning in January.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Prosecutors have filed 10 counts against Tyrone Harris, the 18-year-old black suspect who was critically wounded after being shot by police Sunday night in Ferguson.

The office of St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch on Monday announced charges that include five counts of armed criminal action, four counts of first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer and one firearms charge. All 10 charges are felonies.

Harris remains hospitalized following surgery. Police have described his condition as critical.

County Police Chief Jon Belmar says the suspect was among about six people who fired shots during a protest. Belmar says the suspect spotted a van carrying four plainclothes officers and fired into the windshield. All four officers returned fire.

Harris’ father, Tyrone Harris Sr., says two girls who were with his son told him he was unarmed and “running for his life” when he was shot.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge has voided the Kansas ban on same-sex marriages as unconstitutional in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision on the issue.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree summarily ruled Monday that the provision in the Kansas constitution that prohibits issuing marriage licenses same-sex couples or recognizing such marriages violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That ruling also applies to any Kansas statute, law, policy or practice that bars or fails to recognize such unions.

But Crabtree stopped short of issuing a permanent injunction so as to give Kansas the opportunity to voluntarily comply, as its attorneys have assured the court they will do.

The court says some facts in the court record suggest Kansas officials have not uniformly complied with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Missouri and a dozen other states are asking a federal judge in North Dakota to block a new rule that gives federal authorities jurisdiction over some state waters.

North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says he will request a preliminary injunction Monday.

The states filed a lawsuit in June challenging the rule by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers. The states say the new rule illegally expands the jurisdiction of those agencies under the federal Clean Water Act.

The law goes into effect Aug. 28. The injunction seeks to suspend the new rules until a court can decide the case.

The other states joining the lawsuit with North Dakota are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, South Dakota and Wyoming.

A message left with her attorney was not immediately returned.

BLOOMFIELD, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man accused of stealing cattle faces multiple felony charges in Knox County.

Timothy Ketelsen, 44, of Bloomfield is accused of stealing cattle on at least five different occasions since November. Authorities say he sometimes enlisted his sons, ages 16 and 14, to help him load steers onto trailers at night.

According to authorities, Ketelson sold the cattle at various markets.

Ketelson faces charges including two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child, felony illegal sale of livestock and six counts of felony theft.

PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — Sarpy County prosecutors are accusing a former Gretna school bus driver of stalking a woman he met when she rode the bus as a girl. Kevin Klingensmith, 32, is charged with felony stalking.

Deputy Sarpy County Attorney Phil Kleine says officers were called to the woman’s residence on April 20th.

The family spotted someone running across the property. Kleine says investigators used camera footage to identify the man as Klingensmith. Klingensmith’s attorney says his client denies he was on the property.

Court records show that judges have approved nine protection orders against Klingensmith that were sought by the accuser’s family, starting when she was 11 years old.

Kleine says Klingensmith met her when he was a bus driver for Gretna Public Schools.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police are investigating after a 17-month-old child swallowed a marijuana pill in Wichita.

According to Wichita police, officers were called to Wesley Medical Center Saturday morning to check on the welfare of a child.

Authorities say the mother’s child told officers she had left her child in the care of a 20-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman while she was at work.

According to spokesman Sergeant Bob Gulliver, the mother said that when she picked up her child, she noticed the child was lethargic and unresponsive. After the mother took the toddler to the hospital, it was determined the child had ingested a marijuana pill.

It was not immediately clear what the child’s condition is.
