A south-central Missouri man has been placed on five years of probation for striking and killing a jogger, then driving away from the scene.

Seventy-eight year-old James Krewson, of St. James, pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree involuntary manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident.

The two charges carry maximum terms of four years each. But Judge Gregory Warren suspended the possible prison time and put Krewson on supervised probation.

The case was tried in Pulaski County on a change of venue.

(AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court has overturned a trial judge’s dismissal of charges against a man accused of violating the state’s ban on gun possession by convicted felons.

Arthel Harris pleaded guilty in 2001 to felony drug possession with intent to distribute. In 2011, he was arrested in St. Louis and charged with being a felon in possession of a .38-caliber revolver.

Missouri law in 2001 only banned gun possession by people convicted of “dangerous” felonies, which did not include drug possession. The law was broadened in 2008 to include all felonies.

A St. Louis judge dismissed the gun case against Harris, concluding the 2008 law did not apply to him. The Missouri Supreme Court reversed the dismissal Tuesday and sent the case back to the trial court.

(AP) — A Missouri man has been sentenced to four years in prison for hiding a video camera in a women’s restroom.

Fifty-two year-old Frank Fuchs of Cedar Hill was sentenced Monday. He was arrested in August at an office complex in Cape Girardeau, Mo., after a female soldier from the U.S. Army recruiting office in the building found a video camera under a restroom stall wall.

Fuchs was sentenced to three years in prison in November for a similar crime in Jefferson County, Mo. In that case, a store employee found the hidden camera in a grocery store in House Springs. Fuchs was not a store employee but was identified from photos taken from the camera.
