Livingston County authorities announced an arrest after a raid last week on a suspect meth house.

In a news release, Sheriff Steve cox said they raided a residence in the 600 block of East Avenue in Chillicothe last Thursday evening July 16.

The search warrant resulted in the seizure of an estimated 17 to 23.5 grams of high grade methamphetamine, drug distribution equipment/paraphernalia, and just over $1,900 in cash.

Deputies arrested Gary Wayne Wimbush Jr., 34, Chillicothe for alleged Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine. Mr. Wimbush was transferred to the Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail and has since been charged in Livingston County Associate Circuit Court with Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine. The Court initially placed bond at $75,000 cash and Mr. Wimbush remains in custody.

The sheriff applied for and received the search warrant from Associate Judge James P. Valbracht. Livingston County Prosecuting Attorney Adam Warren is prosecuting the case.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A suspect has been shot and killed after a law enforcement pursuit in Kansas City.

FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton says the chase started after authorities went to a home with a search warrant Wednesday. She said the warrant was part of an investigation involving the FBI, local police and the U.S. Marshal’s office.

She said two people matching the suspects’ descriptions fled in a vehicle and refused to stop. One suspect got out of the vehicle and ran, but was arrested shortly afterward.

Patton says the car chase ended on Interstate 35 after the suspect’s vehicle became disabled, and the driver got out of the vehicle armed with a weapon. She says shots were fired, killing the suspect. Patton said it wasn’t immediately clear if the suspect fired shots.

KC Police tweeted that I-35 southbound at 18th street was closed for several hours due to the shooting.

Hy-Vee recalls Macaroni Salad

small-macaroni-saladWEST DES MOINES, Iowa — D&D Foods, Inc., based in Omaha, Nebraska, is recalling 3-pound containers of Hy-Vee American Macaroni Salad because they were incorrectly labeled and may contain undeclared milk and wheat (gluten). People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and wheat (gluten) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The mislabeled 3-pound Hy-Vee American Macaroni Salad product was distributed by D&D Foods, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hy-Vee, Inc., to all of Hy-Vee’s 236 grocery stores located in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The affected product is typically sold in stores’ ready-to-eat refrigerated cases near the delicatessen. It is packaged in a frosted clear plastic tub with a black plastic lid. The recalled product is labeled as “Hy-Vee American Macaroni Salad” on the lid but “Hy-Vee Dijon Mustard Potato Salad” on the tub. The product is actually Hy-Vee American Macaroni Salad containing milk and wheat (gluten) ingredients, which are not declared on the tub.

The recalled product has a best if used date of “7/31/2015” and a production lot code of “15177D” located on the side of the frosted clear tub. Only one product size and lot are affected by this recall.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The recall was initiated after the incorrect packaging was discovered during routine product review.

Consumers who have purchased Hy-Vee American Macaroni Salad in these mismarked containers are urged to return it to any nearby Hy-Vee store for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Hy-Vee Customer Care representatives 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-800-772-4098.

Another charge filed against Missouri man for distributing Heroin to a minor

court, judgeAn additional charge was brought Wednesday against a Columbia, Mo., man who previously was indicted by a federal grand jury for distributing heroin to a 16-year-old minor who died of a suspected heroin overdose.

Jon Patrick Washington, also known as “Doom,” 29, of Columbia, was charged in a superseding indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Jefferson City, Mo. Wednesday’s superseding indictment replaces a May 21, 2014, federal indictment and adds one additional count. Washington has been in federal custody since his arrest in 2014.

The indictment alleges that Washington maintained a drug-involved premise.
Washington allegedly rented a room at the Providence Inn and Suites Motel, 1718 Providence Road in Columbia (now closed), for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing or using heroin from April 1 to April 3, 2014.

The superseding indictment also contains the original charge against Washington for distributing heroin to a minor on April 2, 2014.

According to an affidavit filed in support of the original criminal complaint, Columbia police officers responded to a suspected heroin overdose death at the Providence Inn and Suites Motel on April 3, 2014. The victim was a 16-year-old female.
