ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis man who installed a surveillance system after his home repeatedly was burglarized may be having second thoughts after police say it recorded him dealing drugs while armed.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports 50-year-old Kelvin Williams is charged by federal prosecutors with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute.

Williams was arrested at his home July 23, a week after police responding to yet another reported burglary there found his digital video recording system and later watched recordings on it showing Williams dealing drugs.

A federal agent says police found two guns and what they suspected to be heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana.

A message left Thursday with Williams’ federal public defender, Lee Lawless, was not immediately returned.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City is among several finalists for a competitive neighborhood transformation grant of up to $30 million.

The Kansas City Star reports Kansas City hosted the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development team that will judge who wins the grant.

Kansas City is one of nine finalists for the Choice Neighborhoods grant, which would help revive an area around Independence Avenue. The HUD group toured the proposed district Tuesday.

Kansas City’s grant application calls for relocating about 500 residents of the 1960s-era Chouteau Courts apartments to smaller mixed-income sites over the next five years and improving the district’s business development and social services, as well as its transit and infrastructure.

Kansas City officials said five grants will be awarded, and the winners will be announced by late September.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Two years after a 16-year-old Springfield teen was reported missing, police have located her and let her go because she’s now an adult.

The Springfield News-Leader reports Kylie Lawrence was reported as a missing runaway on July 28, 2013, when she was 16. Police found Lawrence on Tuesday after someone reported seeing her at Battlefield Mall in Springfield, where officers found her.

Police spokeswoman Lisa Cox says officers confirmed Lawrence was safe, let her know she was still considered missing and then allowed her to leave.

Lawrence was listed as an active missing person in Greene County by the Missouri State Highway Patrol on Tuesday but has since been removed from the list. She had also been listed on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s website.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Some Missouri State University students will be housed in hotels when the semester begins next month.

University officials say a $13 million renovation project of the Sunvilla Tower hall is taking longer than expected and not all of the floors will be ready when classes start August 17th.

The university says about 100 of the estimated 265 students who will live in the hall won’t be able to move in until mid-September.

Students rooming on floors 3-9 will be housed in hotels for up to a month. Those living on floors 10-19 will be able to move in August 10th.

The university plans to provide shuttles between the hotels to the campus, and will receive other incentives and financial breaks for the inconvenience.

United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announces the arrests of three men believed to be responsible for the October 17, 2014, robbery of the Kearney Eaton Employees Credit Union in Kearney, Nebraska.

At approximately 9:15 a.m., two men wearing work clothes and white hardhats entered the credit union, located at 2600 East Highway 30. One of the suspects produced what tellers believed to be a handgun.

Both suspects jumped the teller counter, moved the tellers and other employees into a nearby office, and forced them to lie on the office floor. The suspects then bound the tellers’ and employees’ hands, went to the vault, and removed approximately $122,891.15 in currency, and left the building.

Two of the suspects, Patrick Wigley, 29 and Thomas Dunlap, 28, were arrested in Chicago, Illinois, on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, and will be transported to Lincoln by the United States Marshal’s Office. The third suspect, Clifton Hudson, 28, was arrested in Kearney and was expected to be transported to Lincoln on Thursday, July 30, 2015, for his initial appearance and arraignment.

The charges against the three defendants carry a term of imprisonment up to 25 years, a fine up to $250,000, up to to 3 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment.

This case was investigated by the Kearney Police Department, Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office, Nebraska State Patrol, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A federal appeals court ruling has upheld the convictions of five top leaders in a Kansas City-based company that bilked mostly poor investors out of millions of dollars with promises of vast wealth in exchange for investments of as little as $100.

A three-judge 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on Wednesday found no reason to overturn the May 2013 convictions.

Isreal Owen Hawkins, Teresa Brown, Johnny Heurung, William Miller and Martin Roper were all involved in a company founded by Hawkins, Petro America Corp. Hawkins asserted the purported oil and mining operation was worth $284 billion but the government insisted the company had zero value.

The five were accused of selling $7.2 million worth of unregistered stock and targeting poor investors who weren’t qualified to purchase shares.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A federal court hearing is set for next month for a 20-year-old man charged with plotting to bomb an Army post in Kansas in support of the Islamic State group.

John T. Booker Jr. of Topeka is to appear Aug. 19 before U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia in Kansas City, Kansas. The judge plans to review the status of Booker’s case.

Murguia issued a sealed order Wednesday granting a motion filed Tuesday by a public defender representing Booker.

According to court documents, Booker was arrested in April while trying to arm what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb inside a van near Fort Riley, about an hour west of Topeka. The charges against him include attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — Federal authorities believe a man suspected of robbing a credit union in Iowa with an assault rifle is the same man suspected of robbing banks in several states.

The FBI says the “AK-47 Bandit” robbed banks in California, Idaho and Washington in 2012 and a bank in Nebraska in 2014. The suspect carries an assault rifle.

Authorities say a man entered the Iowa Heartland Credit Union in Mason City on Tuesday wearing a black ski mask. He was armed with an AK-47 and left with an undisclosed amount of money.

The FBI is offering up to $100,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in connection with the shooting of a police officer during one of the robberies in California.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Nebraska college officials over the death of a 19-year-old student. Judge John Gerrard said in his ruling Tuesday that the officials could have done more to protect Peru State student Tyler Thomas but also said their actions did not rise to the level of deliberate indifference.

Thomas disappeared in 2010 after leaving a party. A death certificate was issued in 2013, though her body hasn’t been found.

Her family filed a lawsuit for wrongful death against the Nebraska State Colleges board of trustees and a man who was a fellow student and was suspected in Thomas’ disappearance. The college board requested the lawsuit’s dismissal.

The man wasn’t charged in her case but has been imprisoned for an unrelated sexual assault conviction.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 26-year-old suburban Kansas City man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for secretly recording videos of unsuspecting victims in restrooms and changing rooms at several businesses.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Kansas City says Nicholas Braile of Independence was sentenced Tuesday. He pleaded guilty in February to two counts of attempting to produce child pornography.

Prosecutors say Braile was arrested in May 2014 at a Walmart store in Independence after a security guard caught him taking an up-skirt photo of a female customer with his cell phone. Authorities obtained warrants for his cell phone and home, where they seized two computers.

The forensic examination of Braile’s computers and phone found 468 photographs he had taken of prepubescent girls, in addition to many other images of adults.
