St. Joseph man charged in connection with Subway burglary

Mark A. Sowell

A St. Joseph man has been charged in connection with a burglary at a Subway last month.

According to Capt. Jeff Wilson with the St. Joseph Police Department, 36-year-old Mark A. Sowell has been charged with 2nd degree burglary in reference to a burglary on Sept. 26, at Subway located at 6101 Lake Ave. Wilson said detective’s investigations have linked Sowell to several other burglaries in St. Joseph.

According to a probable cause statement, Sowell was captured on video attempting to gain entry to the back door of the business overnight. Sowell attempted to disable a camera before putting on a black mask that covered most of his face. He got into the business by throwing rocks and breaking a window. Sowell attempted to break into a safe and then left the building. He was later arrested at another burglary scene.

According to the probable cause statement, Sowell has three prior failure to appear arrests and a criminal history of domestic violence and other assault type crimes.

Sowell is jailed on $15,000 bond. An arraignment is scheduled for Friday.

 

(Note: A previous version of this story listed Sonic as the business burglarized. Police confirmed the address is correct and the location is a Subway.)

Windy with temps near 90 today

Today will feel more like August with high temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s and heat indices in the lower to mid 90s. This heat will be accompanied by wind gusts between 30 and 40 mph in the afternoon, so it would be a good idea to tie down or remove objects that are easily moved by higher winds. These higher winds will also lead to elevated fire weather concerns as any fire that does start may quickly get out of hand, so use caution if burning Wednesday afternoon. An approaching cold front will quickly cool the area down, but may bring a chance of some strong to severe thunderstorms over NW Missouri late Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. The main threat would be hail and wind as these storms progress south in a line along the cold front. Here’s the 7-day forecast from the National Weather Service:

Today: Partly sunny, with a high near 90. Breezy, with a south southwest wind 11 to 16 mph increasing to 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 37 mph.

Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. Low around 55. Southwest wind 10 to 15 mph becoming north after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Thursday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8 a.m., then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Partly sunny, with a high near 61. Northeast wind 10 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Thursday Night: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after 8 p.m. Cloudy, with a low around 55. Southeast wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Friday: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 8 a.m. Cloudy, with a high near 80. South southwest wind 7 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Friday Night: Showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 8 p.m. Low around 55. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

Saturday: Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 8 a.m. High near 61. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

Saturday Night: Showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2 a.m. Low around 52. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Columbus Day: Showers and thunderstorms likely. Cloudy, with a high near 77. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Brief: Kander Withdraws; Dead Heat for KS Gov; Deer Season on the Highway

Jason Kander ends his campaign for mayor of Kansas City. He was the frontrunner.

I’m done hiding this from myself and from the world. When I wrote in my book that I was lucky to not have PTSD, I was just trying to convince myself. And I wasn’t sharing the full picture. I still have nightmares. I am depressed.

Instead of dealing with these issues, I’ve always tried to find a way around them. Most recently, I thought that if I could come home and work for the city I love so much as its mayor, I could finally solve my problems. I thought if I focused exclusively on service to my neighbors in my hometown, that I could fill the hole inside of me. But it’s just getting worse.

So after 11 years of trying to outrun depression and PTSD symptoms, I have finally concluded that it’s faster than me. That I have to stop running, turn around, and confront it.

 

A dead heat in the race for Kansas Governor:

The poll found that 18 percent of Republicans are backing Kelly, who has touted endorsements from Republicans such as former Gov. Bill Graves.

For Kobach’s part, 8 percent of Democrats are backing him, according to the poll. He has announced no similar Democratic endorsements but has gained the endorsement of a firefighters union.

 

A new alert is set to hit your phone Wednesday.

 

Fire danger Wednesday:

 

It’s deer season…on the highway.

US Supreme Court won’t hear complaint against Platte Co. Attorney

PLATTE CITY, Mo. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court will not review a reprimand the Missouri Supreme Court issued against Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd.

Missouri’s high court reprimanded Zahnd in May for publicly naming some residents of a northwest Missouri town who defended a convicted child sex offender. The U.S Supreme Court on Monday declined to consider the issue.

The case began in October 2015 when Zahnd issued a news release naming residents of Dearborn who wrote letters supporting Darren Paden while Paden was awaiting sentencing for sexually abusing a young girl.

The Kansas City Star reports the Missouri Press Association and the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys supported Zahnd’s request. They argued that the case raised issues of whether an elected prosecutor can tell the truth in a news release about public information once a case is over.

Brief: MO-KS Campaign Cash Disparity; NAFTA; Travel Costs Up in KS

Senator Claire McCaskill has a $17-million lead over her Republican challenger.

McCaskill brought in $22,785,442, as of the July 18 report to the Federal Election Committee, or FEC. In contrast, Hawley had raised $5,320,513.

“Money is critical to any race, and it’s incredibly important to this particular race, because McCaskill is facing more hurdles than other Senate candidates. She’s contesting a state that (President) Donald Trump won by a huge margin, and she’s facing an electorate that’s increasingly Republican.”

On the Kansas side, campaign cash takes a hit in a key race.

The last poll was from the New York Times which has Democrat Sharice Davids up eight points on the incumbent.

Yoder’s campaign isn’t ready to concede that the NRCC is abandoning the race.

“Chairman (Steve) Stivers reiterated the NRCC’s commitment to helping Kevin directly to him last week,” campaign spokesperson C.J. Grover said it a text. “The committee remains engaged in our race and is sending coordinated TV dollars this week.”

 

I-70 in Missouri remains toll-free, as rates in Kansas jump.

Electronic passenger vehicles (2-4 axles using a K-TAG or compatible device) will see an approximate 5% increase and realize a savings of up to 25% off cash tolls.

The less than 40% of cash customers will see an approximate 12.5% increase (passenger) and 10% increase (commercial). All cash fares will be adjusted to the nearest quarter, which could cause variances in the percentage increase.

 

The United States pitches a new trade deal.

 

Unseasonable temps return this week.
