2:47 p.m.

President Donald Trump says his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (kim jawng oon) is back on for June 12.

Trump says after an Oval Office meeting Friday with North Korea’s Kim Yong Chol that he’d be making a mistake not to go forward with the on-again, off-again nuclear summit in Singapore.

TOPEKA—May tax receipts bring collections so far in FY 2018 to $6.3 billion, which is $1.1 billion more than collected last year and $174 million more than expected fiscal year-to-date, according to the latest revenue report released Friday, according to a statement from the Kansas Department of Revenue.

Individual income collections, which includes individual payments and withholding, amounted to $271.1 million, which is $113.2 million above last May. Some income tax payments made at the April filing deadline were processed by the Department at the beginning of the month, which significantly pushed May receipts above newly revised expectations.

“With one month left, there is a strong indication that collections will be above expectations for the Fiscal Year,” Revenue Secretary Sam Williams said. “With the inundation of payments submitted right at the deadline, much of the May bump can be attributed to April filings.”

May’s tax collections total $555.4 million, which is $114.1 million above last May and $107.9 million above newly revised expectations.

JEFFERSON COUNTY — One person died in an accident just after just before 12:15 a.m. Friday in Jefferson County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 1981 Honda motorcycle driven by Robert Allen Nelson, 41, Dallas, TX., was northbound on Kansas 4 highway just west of Meriden.

The motorcycle hit a deer that entered the roadway from the left.  The driver was ejected from the motorcycle.

Nelson was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a helmet or any protective gear, according to the KHP.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – When Gov. Eric Greitens steps down from office Friday, he will re-open a longstanding legal debate in Missouri: What happens when the state doesn’t have a lieutenant governor?

The state constitution is clear on a governor’s succession, and Lt. Gov. Mike Parson is set to take the oath of office Friday evening. But there is no such clarity for the soon-to-be-vacant office of lieutenant governor.

Historically, some Missouri governors have claimed the right to appoint a replacement, while lawmakers have often argued that the position must remain vacant until voters have a say.

The Senate approved a proposal in May that would allow a governor to appoint a lieutenant governor as long as the candidate received Senate approval, but the measure died in the House.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – Officials say a drug enforcement team seized drugs and guns during a raid on a privately-run security firm in Springfield.

Authorities say the Combined Ozarks Multi-Jurisdictional Enforcement Team raided the Southern Missouri Judicial Services, which is across the street from the Greene County courthouse.

The business provides such services as prisoner transportation, security and surveillance in several counties in the Ozark. The city of Springfield has used the business to transport prisoners.

The business owner, Tim Brenner, said Thursday that he has a state permit to use narcotics to train K9 units. Brenner says he was shocked by the raid.

The Springfield News-Leader reports court records indicate the business encouraged employees patrolling private areas to perform traffic stops, detain people and search for and seize contraband.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – Republican Lt. Gov. Mike Parson, a farmer and former soldier, lawman and lawmaker, is set to succeed Eric Greitens as Missouri’s 57th governor.

Greitens, a Republican, says he’s resigning at 5 p.m. Friday. He faced possible impeachment and a myriad of legal trouble over allegations stemming from a 2015 extramarital affair and his alleged used of a charity donor list for political purposes.

The new governor is a third-generation farmer. He served two tours in the Military Police, spent 12 years as Polk County sheriff, then another dozen years in the Legislature. He was elected lieutenant governor in 2016.

Former legislative colleagues expect a far better relationship with Parson than they had with the contentious Greitens.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A Camdenton, Mo., man who molested a 10-year-old child was sentenced in federal court today for receiving child pornography over the Internet, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Duffy Dean Woodman, 52, of Camdenton, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to 15 years in federal prison without parole. The court also sentenced Woodman to a 10-year term of supervised release following incarceration.

Woodman pleaded guilty on Oct. 12, 2017. The investigation began in October 2015 when the Laclede County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department received a report that a 10-year-old child had been molested by Woodman at a residence in Laclede County, Mo., and at Woodman’s residence in Camdenton.

Law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Woodman’s residence on Nov. 9, 2015, and seized two laptop computers, two tablets, three cell phones and a 700MB CD-RW. One of the tablets contained 350 images of child pornography. The investigator also found 54 child erotica images and 12 bestiality images in unallocated space. An examination of one of the laptop computers revealed numerous search terms consistent with child pornography activity. Numerous images of child erotica and cartoon images depicting children engaged in sexual activity were found on the laptop.

On Jan. 29, 2016, the Camden County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department issued a statement seeking the public’s assistance in locating Woodman, who was considered a fugitive from justice. The next day, Woodman turned himself in to the Republic, Mo., Police Department.

Woodman is currently charged in Morgan County Circuit Court with molesting a 10-year-old victim and awaits sentencing on state charges of statutory sodomy and child molestation in the first degree.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley S. Turner. It was investigated by the FBI, the Camden County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department and the Missouri State Technical Assistance Team.
