Kansas man accused in death of 22-month-old boy

KANSAS CITY– A Kansas man was indicted by a federal grand jury this week after traveling to Missouri to meet a 14-year-old girl, who was actually an undercover FBI employee, for illicit sex.

William H. Reichart, 60, Topeka was charged in a three-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury. The indictment replaces a criminal complaint that was filed against Reichart on April 28, 2013, and includes additional charges.

According to an affidavit filed in support of the original federal criminal complaint, members of the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force were engaged in covert chat sessions on platforms known to be frequented by adults with sexual fetishes, including adults attempting to lure children into sexual acts. An online covert law enforcement officer, posing as a 14-year-old girl, communicated with Reichart through a social media &nbsp;application.

Reichart engaged in sexually explicit conversations with the undercover law enforcement officer, the affidavit says, and sent pornographic images and video of himself. The affidavit says they made arrangements to meet in person for sexual contact. Law enforcement officers conducted surveillance of Reichart as he left his residence on April 27, 2023, and drove to the agreed-upon meeting location. When Reichart arrived for the meeting, he was arrested without incident.

This week’s indictment charges Reichart with one count of attempting to travel with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, one count of attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity, and one count of attempting to transfer obscene material to minor.

Kansas man caught in FBI child sex sting

LINCOLN — The Nebraska State Patrol arrested multiple people during incidents at the Nebraska State Capitol Building during legislative debate over abortion rights and transgender affirming care Friday afternoon, according to a media release from the patrol.

Just after 2:30p.m. during the legislative debate, multiple observers in the opponent balcony began yelling. Two individuals threw objects over the balcony onto the legislative floor. Those individuals, Lucia Salinas, 24, of Omaha, and Maghie Miller-Jenkins, 36, of Lincoln, were arrested for obstructing a government operation and disturbing the peace. Another individual was yelling repeatedly and refused law enforcement orders to leave the balcony. That individual, identified as Mar Lee, 25, of Lincoln, was arrested for disturbing the peace and trespassing.&nbsp;

The legislature’s presiding officer, Lt. Gov. Joe Kelly, order that the balconies be cleared for the remainder of the debate. On the proponent balcony, a woman refused to leave. Troopers gave repeated orders to vacate the balcony, but the woman did not comply. Danna Seevers, 56, of Seward, was arrested for disobeying a lawful order.

At approximately 3:25 p.m., a trooper observed a person intentionally preventing a legislative Sgt. At Arms from opening a door in the rear of the legislative chamber. The trooper told the man to leave the area. The man was non-compliant. The trooper then ordered the man to vacate the capitol. The man again refused to comply. The trooper attempted to place the man under arrest and the subject resisted. Another trooper arrived to assist taking the subject into custody. The man, Benjamin Buras, 40, of Lincoln, was arrested for resisting arrest and trespassing.

As troopers were attempting to take Buras into custody, a woman approached and tried to push past another trooper. The trooper held her back, at which time the woman punched the trooper in the chest. She was immediately taken into custody. Sara Crawford, 33, of Lincoln, was arrested for obstructing a peace officer. All six were booked into Lancaster County Jail.

The Nebraska Legislature later passed a bill that combines a 12-week abortion ban with restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors.&nbsp;

SHAWNEE COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities continue investigating&nbsp; a gunfight near a bar early on Mother's Day that sent a victim to the hospital.

On Friday the Shawnee County Sheriff's office released additional details on their investigation of events.

Just after 2:15a.m. May 14, deputies with the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office responded to a call of multiple gunshots in the parking lot of Victoria’s Bar, 5011 SW Topeka Boulevard.

When law enforcement arrived, it was discovered that a 41-year-old man subject had engaged in a verbal altercation in the parking lot with a group of individuals associated with the Hell’s Lovers Motorcycle Club. Several shots were fired.&nbsp;

During the shooting, a vehicle that was arriving at the business to pick up an employee of the business was also fired upon. The driver of the vehicle, a 35-year-old man, was struck multiple times by gunfire, but managed to flee the scene. The vehicle was located a short time later in the 4500 block of SW Topeka Boulevard. The driver was transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released.

In addition, at the time of the shooting, a separate individual that had not been inside the bar and not involved in the original altercation, was sitting in his vehicle in the business parking lot when the shooting began. That individual then exited his vehicle with a firearm and also began shooting at the vehicle that was ultimately located by law enforcement in the 4500 block of SW Topeka Boulevard. That individual was also taken into custody on requested charges of aggravated assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal discharge of a firearm.

On Wednesday, the sheriff's office reported four arrests.

Leon D. Smith-Love I., 28, of Topeka, is being held for aggravated assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal discharge of a firearm.

Kathryn R. Hazelwood, 26, of Topeka is being held on requested charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Charles D. Wheat, 42, of Topeka, is in custody on requested charges of&nbsp; aggravated assault and criminal discharge of a firearm.

Jason M. Blenden Sr., 49, of Topeka, was booked in on an arrest warrant and could face additional charges.

On Thursday the sheriff's office reported the arrest of Storm M. Morgan, 30, of Meriden, on requested charges of criminal discharge of a firearm.

Shawn M. Ray, 39, of Topeka, is in custody on requested charges of criminal discharge of a firearm, aggravated assault and interference with law enforcement.

Mother's Day bar gunfight involved Kansas motorcycle club

WYANDOTTE COUNTY —&nbsp;Detectives with the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department announced Thursday that two suspects have been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the May 3 shooting death of 6 year-old Sir’Antonio Brown, according to a media release from police.&nbsp;A third, unidentified suspect remains at large.

Agents with the FBI assisted the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department in taking 21-year-old Lakevis Sloan and a 17-year-old boy into custody Tuesday evening as they exited a Greyhound bus in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Both suspects are residents of Kansas City, Kan. They remain in custody in South Dakota as they await extradition back to Kansas where the Wyandotte County District Attorney has charged them each with second-degree murder.

“We want Sir’Antonio’s family and our community to know that we are not slowing down the pace of this investigation,” Detective Mark Bundy, KCKPD, said. 

“Somebody out there knows who this third suspect is, and where he is. Now is the time to make the call. Don’t wait any longer, because we will arrest anybody and everybody who is housing or covering for this child killer.

On May 4, police confirmed they had located the vehicle involved in the killing and on May 10, police arrested 18-year-old&nbsp;Cassandra Sledge a resident of Kansas City, Kansas for obstructing prosecution in the case. 

Charges are based on the fact that Sledge who owns the vehicle suspects used to commit the murder, knowingly provided false statements to law enforcement to obstruct prosecution of the suspects. 

Sledge remains in the Wyandotte County Jail on a $40,000 bond.

One suspect in murder of Kan. boy playing in front yard is still at large

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Legislature on Friday approved a 12-week abortion ban and restrictions on gender-affirming care for children in a move so contentious that lawmakers on both sides have said they may be unable to work together in the future.

Conservative lawmakers wrangled just enough votes to end a filibuster and pass a bill with both measures. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen, who pushed for the bill and met with various lawmakers to shore up support, has promised to sign it into law.

The mood in the Nebraska Capitol has been volatile since lawmakers on Tuesday advanced by a single vote the hybrid measure that ties together restrictions that Republicans across the U.S. have been pushing. Nebraska's lawmakers have traded insults and promises of retribution, while protesters have loudly voiced their displeasure.

Friday's debate was briefly stopped when protesters in a chamber balcony stood and yelled obscenities at conservative lawmakers while throwing what appeared to be bloody tampons onto the floor. Security arrested at least one person and cleared the balconies. As lawmakers began voting, chants of "Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!" could be heard coming from outside the chamber.

North Carolina also passed a 12-week abortion ban this week, among a slew of restrictions enacted in states after the U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that established a nationwide right to abortion. Fourteen states now have bans throughout pregnancy.

Nebraska, which currently prohibits abortion starting around 20 weeks of pregnancy, had not passed a new ban. The 12-week ban includes exceptions for rape, incest and to save the life of the mother.

The bill also would prevent transgender people under 19 from receiving any gender-confirming surgery. The state's chief medical officer — a political appointee who is currently an ear, nose and throat doctor — would set rules for puberty blockers and hormone therapies. There would be some exceptions for minors who were already receiving treatment before the ban was enacted.

At least 17 states have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming medical care for minors, and proposals are pending before the governors of Texas and Missouri. Medical groups and advocates say such restrictions are further marginalizing transgender youth and threatening their health.

Omaha Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh led an effort to filibuster nearly every bill this session — even ones she supported — to protest the proposed restrictions on gender-affirming care. She railed against conservatives who voted for the hybrid bill and warned that people, medical professionals and businesses will leave the state over it.

Cavanaugh declared in early March that she would "burn the session to the ground over this bill," and she and a handful of progressive allies followed through. They introduced hundreds of amendments and motions to slow every bill at each stage of debate, impeding the work of the Legislature and sending leadership scrambling to prioritize which bills to push through.

After lawmakers merged the abortion limits with the transgender health bill, Cavanaugh clashed with Sen. Julie Slama, who insinuated that conservatives were supporting the restrictions on gender-affirming care to retaliate against Cavanaugh. Slama noted that the restrictions did not initially have the 33 votes needed to survive.

"But then Machaela Cavanaugh got up and ran her mouth because she was just overjoyed that the national media was here to give her some more attention," Slama said. "So that gave us 33 votes."

Cavanaugh responded that it would "cost" conservatives with just days left in the session for lawmakers to pass bills.

"I am going to take all of the time. Every single, solitary minute of it to make sure the speaker has to decide what actually gets scheduled in these last handful of days," she said.

Conservatives in the one-house, officially nonpartisan Legislature announced early this month that they would amend the trans health bill to squeeze in the abortion restrictions. That unconventional move came after conservatives failed to advance a bill that would have banned abortion once cardiac activity can be detected — generally around six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.

Legislative rules state that a bill failing to defeat a filibuster must be tabled for the year. So opponents were surprised when conservatives announced a plan for a 12-week ban. Progressive lawmakers say it was an underhanded way to ramrod through a ban after the issue already failed. Conservatives say the ban is as a compromise.

Because an emergency clause is attached to the bill, it will take effect once the governor signs it.

Nebraska lawmakers pass 12-week abortion ban, restrictions on gender-affirming care 

NEW YORK (AP) —Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown, the unstoppable running back who retired at the peak of his brilliant career to become an actor as well as a prominent civil rights advocate during the 1960s, has died. He was 87.

A spokeswoman for Brown’s family said he passed away peacefully in his Los Angeles home on Thursday night with his wife, Monique, by his side.

One of the greatest players in football history and one of the game’s first superstars, Brown was chosen the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1965 and shattered the league’s record books in a short career spanning 1957-65.

Brown led the Cleveland Browns to their last NFL title in 1964 before retiring in his prime after the ’65 season to become an actor. He appeared in more than 30 films, including “Any Given Sunday” and “The Dirty Dozen.”

An unstoppable runner with power, speed and endurance, Brown’s arrival sparked the game’s burgeoning popularity on television.

As Black Americans fought for equality, Brown used his platform and voice to advance their cause.

In 1967, Brown organized a meeting in Cleveland of the nation’s top Black athletes, including Bill Russell and Lew Alcindor, who later became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, to support boxer Muhammad Ali’s fight against the war in Vietnam.

In later years, he worked to curb gang violence in LA and founded Amer-I-Can, a program to help disadvantaged inner-city youth and ex-convicts.

On the field, there was no one like Brown, who would blast through would-be tacklers, refusing to let one man take him down before sprinting away from linebackers and defensive backs. He was also famous for using a stiff arm to shed defenders in the open field or push them away like they were rag dolls.

“My arms were like my protectors and weapons,” Brown said during an interview with NFL Films.

Indeed, Brown was unlike any back before him, and some feel there has never been anyone better than Cleveland’s incomparable No. 32. At 6-foot-2, 230 pounds, he was dominant, relentless and without mercy, his highlight reels featuring runs around and right through opponents, fighting for every yard, dragging multiple defenders along or finding holes where none seemed to exist.

After Brown was tackled, he’d slowly rise and walk even more slowly back to the huddle — then dominate the defense when he got the ball again.

Off the field, Brown was a contentious character.

While he had a soft spot for those in need, and his generosity changed lives, he also was arrested a half-dozen times, mostly on charges of hitting women.

In June 1999, Brown’s wife, Monique, called 911, saying Brown had smashed her car with a shovel and threatened to kill her. During the trial, Monique Brown recanted. Jim Brown was acquitted of a charge of domestic threats but convicted of misdemeanor vandalism. The Los Angeles judge sentenced Brown to six months in jail when he refused to attend domestic violence counseling.

He also feuded with Browns coach Paul Brown and later with the team’s management, although he played his entire career with Cleveland.

When his playing days ended, Brown set off for Hollywood and eventually settled there. Brown advised Cleveland coach Blanton Collier of his retirement while the team was in training camp and he was on the set of “The Dirty Dozen” in England.

Among his films were “100 Rifles,” “Mars Attacks!” Spike Lee’s “He Got Game,” Oliver Stone’s “Any Given Sunday,” and the satire “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka,” in which he parodied the blaxploitation genre. In 2002, Brown was the subject of Lee’s HBO documentary “Jim Brown: All-American.”

In recent years, Brown’s relationship with the Browns was inconsistent. He served as an adviser to owner Randy Lerner and was hired to counsel the team’s younger players. However, in 2010, Brown parted ways with the team after having his role reduced by incoming team president Mike Holmgren. Brown felt slighted by the perceived demotion — when the club unveiled a “Ring of Honor” inside its downtown stadium, Brown didn’t attend the ceremony in protest.

Brown was an eight-time All-Pro and went to the Pro Bowl in each of his nine years in the league. When Brown walked away from the game at age 30, he held the league’s records for yards (12,312) and touchdowns (126).

And despite his bruising style, Browns never missed a game, playing in 118 straight.

“He told me, ‘Make sure when anyone tackles you he remembers how much it hurts,’” said Hall of Fame tight end John Mackey. “He lived by that philosophy and I always followed that advice.”

A two-sport star at Syracuse — some say he is the best lacrosse player in NCAA history — Brown endured countless racist taunts while playing at the virtually all-white school at the time. Still, he was an All-American in both sports, leading the nation in scoring, and lettered in basketball.

Brown was the sixth overall pick of the 1957 draft, joining a team that routinely played for the title. He was the Offensive Rookie of the Year that season.

Running behind an offensive line featuring Hall of Fame tackles Lou Groza and Mike McCormack, Brown set a league mark with 1,527 yards and scored 17 TDs on his way to the league’s Most Outstanding Player award — a precursor to the MVP — in 1958. Over the next three seasons, he never ran for less than 1,257 yards before picking up just 996 in 1962.

He led the NFL in rushing eight times, gaining a career-best 1,863 yards in 1963. He averaged 104 yards per game, scored 106 rushing touchdowns and averaged an astonishing 5.2 yards per carry. A dangerous receiver as well, Brown finished with 262 catches for 2,499 yards and another 20 TDs.

“I’ve said many times, and I will always say, Jim Brown is the best,” Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers once said, “and he will still be the best long after all his records are broken.”

Packers great Paul Hornung felt Brown was unstoppable.

“Give me Jim Brown over anybody — at anything,” he said.

Brown’s No. 32 was retired by the Browns in ’71, the same year he entered the Hall of Fame. But he rarely visited Cleveland during the 1970s and ’80s. He and Cleveland owner Art Modell were at odds over his sudden retirement; the two later patched up their differences and remained good friends.

Brown supported Modell’s decision to move Cleveland’s franchise to Baltimore in 1995. It was both a reflection of his loyalty to Modell and another sign of his fierce independence. Brown was one of the few former Browns players not angry with Modell for moving the team.

Many of the modern players couldn’t appreciate Brown or his impact on American sports.

“They have grown up in a different era,” former Browns coach Romeo Crennel said. “He’s one of the greatest players in NFL history and what he was able to accomplish in his time was tremendous. I don’t know that anybody could do what he did, the way he did it, under the circumstances that he had to operate and the things that he had to endure. And for him to go out on top, that’s something that not many guys are able to appreciate either.”

Born on Feb. 17, 1936, in St. Simons, Georgia, Brown was a multisport star at Manhasset High School on Long Island. He averaged 14.9 yards per carry in football and once scored 55 points in a game.

Brown later took up golf, and while playing with Jack Nicklaus in the 1963 Cleveland Pro-Am, he shot a 79.

Brown is survived by his second wife, Monique, and their child. He was divorced after 13 years of marriage from Sue Brown, with whom he had three children.

SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects on multiple charges after an arrest after one called for a ride to escape police.

Just after 4a.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to an alarm call at Dollar General, 1475 W 31st Street S in Wichita, according to Officer Kris Gupilan.

 As officers arrived on the scene, they witnessed two suspects later identified as 21-year-old Alejandro Avalos and 18-year-old Hilario Moran run from the business. 

A short time later Avalos and Moran were taken into custody without incident.

The investigation revealed that Avalos and Moran were attempting to break into the Dollar General when they broke the glass, and the alarm went off. During the foot pursuit, Moran was quickly taken into custody at 30th and Martinson. 

Several Officers arrived on the scene and initiated a perimeter to contain Avalos. While Avalos was hiding in the perimeter, he contacted a ride-share app to pick him up. 

Officers noticed the vehicle in the 3100 block of South Fern they then witnessed Avalos enter the vehicle. Police stopped vehicle and took Avalos into custody without incident.

&nbsp;Both are being held on requested charges of Burglary, interference with law&nbsp; enforcement, and criminal damage to property. Police did not release the name of the ride sharing service due to the ongoing&nbsp; investigation.

SHAWNEE COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating&nbsp; a shooting near a bar early on Mother's Day that sent a victim to the hospital.

Just after 2a.m. May 14,&nbsp; Shawnee County Dispatch received multiple calls of gunshots in the area of Victoria’s Bar, 5011 SW Topeka Boulevard, according to Deputy Abigail Christian.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects after dozens of animals were found in deplorable conditions.

On Tuesday, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Kansas Department of Agriculture served a search warrant on a residence in rural Coffeyville, Kansas for alleged animal cruelty, according to Sheriff Ron Wade.

 The Sheriff’s Office and the KDA developed probable cause that many animals on the property and inside the residence were malnourished and being housed in very disturbing conditions. 

 During the search warrant, detectives located and seized over 70 animals from the property including dogs, cats, birds, snakes, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and a lizard as well as deceased animals. 

None of the animals had access to food or clean water and they were living in their own fecal matter. 

 Detectives had a local veterinarian respond to the scene to evaluate the animals.  The animals were removed from the scene and are being housed at appropriate shelters until further notice. 

Detectives arrested 29-year-old Heather Hall and 33-year-old Rafael Luna-Dezonne both of rural Coffeyville, Kansas.&nbsp; They are being held on requested charges of cruelty to animals: failure to provide food/water/shelter and cruelty to animals: Knowingly kill or injure animals.

This case will be sent to the Montgomery County Attorney’s Office for review and proper charging, according to Wade.

WASHINGTON (AP) —A man has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of stealing a pair of ruby red slippers worn by&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/judy-garland">Judy Garland</a>&nbsp;in “The Wizard of Oz,” federal prosecutors in North Dakota say. The shoes were stolen in 2005 and&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/north-america-minnesota-ap-top-news-judy-garland-movies-5f15402e28f04341b6a25d179b070fc5">recovered</a>&nbsp;by a 2018 FBI sting operation, but no arrests were made at the time.

Terry Martin was indicted Tuesday with one count of theft of a major artwork, prosecutors announced Wednesday. The indictment did not provide any further information about Martin and online records do not list an attorney for him.

Garland wore several pairs of the ruby slippers during production of the 1939 musical, but only four authentic pairs remain. When they were stolen, the slippers were insured for $1 million but the current market value is about $3.5 million, federal prosecutors said in a news release.

The slippers were on loan to the Judy Garland Museum in the late actor's hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, when someone climbed through a window and broke the display case, prosecutors said when they were recovered.

Over the years, several enticing rewards were offered in hopes that the slippers would turn up. Law enforcement offered $250,000 early in the case, and an anonymous donor from Arizona put up $1 million in 2015.

The road to the missing slippers began when a man told the shoes’ insurer in 2017 that he could help get them back. After a nearly year-long investigation, the FBI nabbed the shoes in Minneapolis in July 2018. At the time, the bureau said no one has been arrested or charged in the case.

On Wednesday, a summons was issued for Martin. An initial court appearance was set for June 1, and it will be via video. Terry Van Horn, spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department in North Dakota, said he could not provide any information beyond what was included in the indictment.

The shoes are famously associated with one of the iconic lines in “The Wizard of Oz,” as Garland's character Dorothy clicks her heels and repeats the phrase, “There’s no place like home.”

The shoes are made from about a dozen different materials, including wood pulp, silk thread, gelatin, plastic and glass. Most of the ruby color comes from sequins but the bows of the shoes contain red glass beads.

When they were stolen, the slippers were on loan from Hollywood memorabilia collector Michael Shaw. The three remaining pairs Garland wore in the movie were held by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Smithsonian, and a private collector.

Man indicted in theft of 'Wizard of Oz' ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland

By CRISTINA JANNEY Hays Post

A man who has been convicted of robbing a Hays Dollar General had his sentencing continued Tuesday in Ellis County District Court while he awaits extradition to Kentucky on more robbery charges.

Batalova Senuoke, armed with a handgun, threatened a 27th Street Dollar General employee and forced the employee to give him cash on July 21, 2022.

Senuoke of Columbus, Ohio, Bryan Anthony Parsley, also of Ohio, and a third person fled the scene. They were eventually spotted by a highway patrol trooper in Oakley. They fled an attempted traffic stop on Interstate 70 at a high rate of speed before a trooper performed a tactical vehicle intervention, and both vehicles rolled.

Senuoke faces two counts of first-degree robbery in Kentucky. Ellis County Attorney Robert Anderson said he has spoken to the prosecutor in Kentucky, and the prosecutor there estimates Senuoke could face 10 years in prison if convicted in Kentucky.

Senuoke agreed to a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated robbery in Kansas and waived his extradition to Kentucky. The sentencing in Kansas was continued.

Anderson has recommended Senuoke be allowed to serve his sentences in Kentucky concurrently with the sentence in Ellis County.

"I am the one who is wrong here. That's the bottom line,"&nbsp;Senuoke said.

He said he wished to go back to Kentucky to take responsibility for what he had done.

"I thought bad of you guys when I first got here, but I just did bad," Senuoke said at his hearing Tuesday.

<a href="https://hayspost.com/posts/cc9735a0-e5c1-4f99-ba09-51b7131b9095">Bryan Anthony Parsley pleaded no contest in April&nbsp;and was found guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery, a level seven-person felony, for his role in the robbery.&nbsp;</a>

Anderson said during Parsley's hearing that Parsley entered the store with Senuoke and helped check to make sure there were no children in the store.

Anderson said Parsley eventually said he did not feel comfortable and left the store, stealing a package of toilet paper.

Parsley is set to be sentenced at 10:30 a.m. Friday in Ellis County District Court.
