FULTON, Mo. (AP) – The mother of a developmentally disabled Missouri man whose body was found encased in concrete alleges he died from injuries suffered after workers at the private care home where he lived forced him to fight another resident.

Carolyn Summers, the mother of Carl DeBrodie, of Fulton, also alleges in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday that government agencies responsible for her son didn’t provide required care and didn’t check up on DeBrodie for months, as required by state law.

DeBrodie’s body was found in April 2017 encased in concrete in a container inside a storage area, months after he went missing.

The amended lawsuit names the owners of the home and several county and state officials and departments, and moves the case from Callaway County Circuit Court.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – A former roommate of a University of Missouri student who committed suicide has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in the case.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports 21-year-old Deandre Winters pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of evidence tampering and will service two years of unsupervised probation.

The plea came after the Boone County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the October death of Winters’ roommate was a suicide.

Winters and 23-year-old Darren Carter, both of Columbia, were charged in October with felony evidence tampering after police said they moved the student’s body and the handgun used in his death.

Columbia police spokeswoman Bryana Larimer said investigators didn’t find sufficient evidence to file criminal charges in Winters’ case.

Carter’s felony evidence charge is still pending.

MARSHALL COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a robbery and have two suspects in custody.

Just after 11:30a.m. Wednesday, authorities in Nebraska notified the Marshall County Sheriff’s office they were southbound on U.S. 77 in pursuit of a vehicle. The occupants were allegedly involved in a Beatrice, NE., robbery, according to a media release.

As the suspects approached State Line Road, a Marshall Co. deputy fired shots at the car’s tire, disabling the vehicle and ending the chase at the Nebraska state line, according to the release.

Nebraska authorities took the two suspects Jonathan F. Klein and Wesley Okeefe into custody. There were no injuries reported.

Klein is being held for Robbery-Business-Gun, Use of A Weapon To Commit A Felony, Possession Of Weapon, Willful Reckless Driving, Driving Under Suspension and Possession Of Deadly Weapon During The Commission Of A Felony. Okeefe is being held for Theft By Unlawful Taking (500-1500) and Fugitive From Justice, according to the sheriff’s department.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the incident, according to the Marshall Co. Sheriff’s Office.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – Analysts say Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens could find a political revival challenging, especially in a #MeToo environment where he would be vulnerable to attack for allegedly taking a compromising photo of a woman during an extramarital affair.

The Republican and former Navy SEAL officer has hinted at a possible political comeback, declaring during his resignation announcement Tuesday that “this is not the end of our fight.”

He is stepping down Friday amid allegations of sexual misconduct and campaign violations but is still defiantly asserting that he’s done nothing worthy of being forced out of office.

Even though he’s quitting amid scandal, some Greitens voters said they still like him. Retiree Wilma Nelson said she would be open to voting for Greitens again if he sought to re-enter politics.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Prosecutors say they will retry a woman whose convictions in the 2002 shooting deaths of her ex-husband and his fiancee were overturned earlier this year by the Kansas Supreme Court.

Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay announced plans Wednesday to retry Dana Chandler.

Chandler was convicted in 2012 of killing Michael Sisco and Karen Harkness in Topeka. But the state’s high court ruled in April that Chandler was convicted after Shawnee County prosecutors falsely claimed Sisco had taken out a protection from abuse order against her before the killings. The justices wrote that prosecutors used the false claim and circumstantial evidence to support its theory that Chandler was dangerous.

POTOSI, Mo. (AP) – Missouri prison officials say a 29-year-old inmate being held in the Potosi Correctional Center has died.

The Missouri Department of Corrections said Wednesday in a news release that Christopher Noble was taken May 16 from the prison to Washington County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Officials say Noble was serving a 20-year sentence for first-degree statutory sodomy. He was imprisoned on July 20.

The release did not give any details of Noble’s death or why prison officials waited two weeks to announce the death. A message left late Wednesday afternoon for a prison spokeswoman was not immediately returned.

An autopsy has been ordered.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Latest on the resignation of Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (all times local):

8p.m.

Missouri Lt. Gov. Mike Parson says he’s planning a private swearing-in ceremony to take over after Gov. Eric Greitens resigns.

Greitens is resigning Friday instead of continuing to fight a criminal charge and potential impeachment proceedings over alleged sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations.

Parson will take his place as governor. Both are Republicans who won separate races for their respective offices in 2016.

Parson says he’s planning a private ceremony Friday because of time constraints. He said he’ll plan a public event later.

Parson says he’ll be working for the rest of the week and weekend on his transition to the state’s top executive. He says he’ll have discussions later about how the open lieutenant governor’s seat should

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – A former Missouri state prison inmate says she was repeatedly raped by a guard and then by a counselor she went to for help.

Karen Keil says in a federal lawsuit filed this week that the guard, Edward Bearden, raped her more than 20 times while she was serving a six-year prison term at Chillicothe Correctional Center.

She says when she sought help the counselor, John Thomas Dunn, also raped her. Keil is also suing unnamed Missouri correction department employees and the contractor who provided mental health services at the time.

The Kansas City Star reports Dunn pleaded guilty last year to sexual conduct with a prisoner. His attorney says Keil was not the victim in that case.

The Missouri Department of Corrections says it doesn’t comment on pending litigation.
