JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A spokesman for Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens says he’s expanding his call for lawmakers to pass new abortion restrictions and wants to ensure they hold up in court.

The Republican governor filed a proclamation Wednesday citing additional provisions he didn’t explicitly include in his order calling lawmakers back to work last month to address abortion issues.

Among the requests is making it a crime for abortion clinic staff to ask ambulances to respond to calls without sirens or lights.

Greitens’ spokesman, Parker Briden, said Thursday that the goal is to ensure additions made to the legislation during debate in the House could survive potential legal challenges.

Senate leaders say the chamber likely won’t take up the bill until at least the week of July 24.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — Police and wildlife officials are keeping a lookout in the south-central Nebraska city of Hastings after a family there reported a coyote bit and tried to drag away a 1-year-old child.

Hastings Police Sgt. Brian Hessler says the attack happened around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday while the family was watching July Fourth fireworks. The incident follows weeks of reported sightings of coyotes in the city.

A police report says the coyote left marks on the boy’s back but quickly ran off. Officers searched but did not find a coyote in the area.

Police say the family, which has hunted coyotes, is certain it was not a dog.

The boy’s mother, Katrina Clodfelter, tells station KSNB that the boy was given a tetanus shot and will undergo a series of rabies shots.

TOPEKA, KAN. – A California man appeared in federal court today on charges he possessed more than 60 pounds of the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.

Carlos Fernando Fernandez-Gonzalez, 28, Yucaipa, Calif., is charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. The crime is alleged to have occurred May 25, 2017, when the Kansas Highway Patrol stopped him in Russell County, Kan.

If convicted he faces a penalty of not less than 10 years in federal prison and fine up to $10 million. The Drug Enforcement Administration and Kansas Highway Patrol investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Hough is prosecuting.

A Georgia man pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges he was part of an e-mail spoofing scheme that cost a Kansas County more than $566,000, .

George S. James, 49, Brookhaven, Ga., pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.

In his plea, James admitted that on Oct. 7, 2016, Sedgwick County sent approximately $566,088 to his bank account at a Wells Fargo bank in Georgia. James transferred part of the money he received from Sedgwick County to a bank account in Shanghai, China, and part of the money to an account at Deutsche Bank in Bremen, Germany. James also spent some of the money.

In his plea, James denied that the fraud scheme was his idea. He said that on Sept. 23, 2016, he was contacted by a person identified in court records as A.H., who asked to deposit some money into James’ account at Wells Fargo. James said he knew A.H. was engaged in fraud, but James denied knowing that Sedgwick County was the victim.

In his plea, James said it was A.H. – or someone working with A.H. – who sent an email to Sedgwick County on Sept. 23, 2016, purporting to be from Cornejo and Sons, LLC, and requesting the county send future payments to a new account number at Wells Fargo. On Oct. 7, 2016, the county sent $566,088 to James’ account at Wells Fargo. The county learned later that Cornejo did not request the change of account and did not receive the payment.

Sentencing is set for Sept. 21. James faces a penalty of up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has now appealed to a federal district judge a $1,000 fine levied against him for misleading the court.

His court filing late Wednesday evening came hours after U.S. Magistrate Judge James O’Hara refused to reconsider the fine and an order requiring him to submit to a deposition by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The judge had fined the Kansas Republican for misrepresenting the contents of documents he took into a November meeting with then President-elect Donald Trump and a separate draft amendment to the National Voter Registration.

Kobach argued the lack of clarity in his court filing was an honest mistake caused by last-minute editing. He also contended the magistrate did not consider whether the deposition was intended to harass, annoy or embarrass him.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Several voter rights advocacy groups say the state of Missouri is not following federal requirements on providing voter registrations.

The League of Women Voters of Missouri and four other groups sent a letter Thursday to Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and to Joel Waters, director of the state Department of Revenue.

They contend the state doesn’t automatically update voter registrations when people change the address on their driver’s licenses or state ID. They also say the state requires unnecessary duplication of information, whether the change is made online, by mail or at state offices.

The groups say if Missouri doesn’t correct its practices in 90 days, they are prepared to take legal action.

A spokeswoman for Ashcroft’s office did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

NEW YORK (AP) — International travel to the U.S. grew by more than 5 percent in May compared with data for May 2016, according to the Travel Trends Index report released by the U.S. Travel Association.

The strong showing contradicted fears that tourism from abroad would slow in reaction to U.S. policies and rhetoric, including President Donald Trump’s travel ban.

The organization’s Travel Trends Index also showed “solid domestic travel demand” in business and leisure sectors.

Despite the strong spring numbers, an overall slowdown is projected for the year, with anticipated growth in travel through November at just 1.8 percent higher than last year. The projection is based on data for future bookings.
