Man arrested; Kan. teen dies from injuries in wrong-way crash

KANSAS CITY— A Kansas City man who called 911 emergency assistance for his mother pleaded guilty in federal court today after the police officers who responded to his home found illegal drugs, six firearms he illegally possessed, and large amounts of cash, according to the United State's Attorney.

Michael Thomas Cummings II, also known as “Blue,” 40, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs to one count of possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute and one count of being a felon in possession of firearms.

Kansas City police officers arrived at Cummings’s residence shortly before midnight on June 7, 2021, after he had called 911 for his mother because she was unresponsive. Emergency medical personnel were in the process of attempting lifesaving measures when police officers arrived, but she was unresponsive and was pronounced dead at approximately 12:04 a.m. on June 8, 2021. Cummings, who lived with his mother, told officers she suffered from cognitive decline. Officers noted she appeared to be emaciated.

Officers saw a loaded Heckler &amp; Koch .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol sitting next to $438 in cash on a table. They also saw an SKS-style 7.62 x 54mm assault rifle with a magazine leaning against the wall of a back stairwell that led to the basement. Cummings, a felon, was arrested for illegally possessing the firearms.

Officers executed a search warrant at Cummings’s residence later the same day. They found a total of 351.37 grams of methamphetamine in Cummings’s bedroom and a Pioneer Arms 7.62 x 39mm AKM-47 style pistol in a bedroom closet. On a desk in the bedroom, officers also found a baggie that contained approximately .24 grams of fentanyl/heroin, and two baggies that contained approximately 28.1 grams of crack cocaine, as well as a baggie of marijuana in a desk drawer. Officers also found $3,512 in cash in the bedroom.

Officers found a Ruger .22-caliber pistol in another bedroom that had been converted into a weight room.

In a third bedroom, officers found a Smith and Wesson AR-15 style assault rifle in the closet and a safe that contained $175,100 in cash and a Ruger revolver that had been reported as stolen.

Officers also found $180 under the couch cushion, and sodium sulfate, which is often used by drug dealers as a cutting agent to dilute drugs, on a coffee table.

Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition. Cummings has a prior felony conviction for possession of a controlled substance.

Under federal statutes, Cummings is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison without parole, up to a sentence of life in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.

KANSAS CITY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect on multiple charges after an arrest.

Just after 9:30 Saturday,&nbsp; a homeowner in the area of 245th and S. Prospect, approximately 36 miles south of Kansas City, reported a suspicious vehicle and a man&nbsp; running from a barn on their property, according to the Cass County Sheriff's office.

Deputies arrived in the area and determined that the vehicle had been reported stolen to the Bates County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday. 

 Deputies set up a perimeter of the area and began a search with the assistance of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and Sheriff’s Office UAVs. 

The Sheriff’s Office issued an Everbridge call to residents in the area advising them of the ongoing operation. 

 About 11:00am an area resident called 9-1-1 and reported a suspicious person attempting to steal a vehicle at a neighbor’s residence. Deputies responded and attempted to stop the subject in a black Dodge truck attempting to leave a house in the area of 231st and Craycraft Road. 

 The driver fled from deputies in the vehicle before crashing and running on foot.  He was arrested moments later by state troopers and deputies. 

 Bates County Sheriff K9’s and a detective assisted with searching for property and processing the stolen vehicle for evidence. The subject, Dylan S. Lancaster, 25, Kansas City was transported to the Cass County Jail where he is being held on the following active warrants: Failure to Appear Resisting Arrest – Cass County – Bond $300.00 Failure to Appear Driving While Revoked – Cass County – Bond $300.00Failure to Appear – Lee’s Summit – Bond $750.004 Warrants – Pleasant Hill – Bond $400.00Municipal Warrant – Riverside PD – Bond $1350.00

Lancaster was convicted in 2021 for resisting arrest and arrested again in December 2022 following a pursuit involving deputies with the Miami County Kansas and Cass County Sheriff’s Office. 

 He received a signature bond in that case and then failed to appear in court last month. 

Over a dozen law enforcement officers from 3 agencies spent hours investigating, searching and apprehending Lancaster.

Suspect captured after manhunt near Kansas City

KANSAS CITY —There is a police vehicle serving as a memorial in front of police headquarters in Kansas City in honor of Officer James Muhlbauer and K-9 Officer Champ who died in a crash on Wednesday night.

A Kansas teen has been charged in connection with the crash on Wednesday night that took the life of a Kansas City patrol officer, a pedestrian and the officer's K-9 Champ, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.

Jerron Allen Lightfoot, 18, Tonganoxie, faces two counts of Involuntary Manslaughter 1st Degree.

According to court records filed Thursday evening, Kansas City police officers responded to East Truman Road and Benton Blvd. on a vehicular crash.

Arriving officers saw a man standing by a white Ford Fusion, one of the crashed vehicles. The man was later identified as Jerron Allen Lightfoot, the driver and sole occupant of the white Ford vehicle.

The other vehicle in the crash was a marked police car. The police officer, James M. Muhlbauer, was in the driver's seat, unconscious. He was wearing a seatbelt. The police K-9 Champ was deceased in the back second row of the police car. The officer was transported to an area hospital and later pronounced deceased. Police found a second deceased man under the police vehicle.

Video from the area of the crash, according to court records, showed the police officer was traveling eastbound at E. Truman Road and had a green light at the intersection. The white Ford was traveling southbound on Benton Boulevard at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at the traffic signal just prior to striking the police vehicle.

In addition, the police officer's dash cam showed he had a green light as he went through the intersection just prior to the crash.

Lightfoot told officers he tried to stop but his car's brakes did not work, prosecutors said. Lightfoot said he felt “a lot of vibration” when he applied the brakes.

A check of the white Ford's electronic ACM system showed the vehicle's brakes were working just prior to the crash and the vehicle was traveling at 85 mph or more just before impact.

Muhlbauer, who was married and a father, was a 20-year veteran of the force. Champ had been a K-9 with the force for a year.

In 2014, Muhlbauer arrested Brandon Howell, a suspect in the deaths of five people in a Kansas City neighborhood, said Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker. Howell, who previously was acquitted in the killings of two Kansas teens, is serving multiple life terms, with no chance of parole, in the quintuple homicide.

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker issued the following statement:

"My office spoke Thursday evening with the family of our officer victim. We have not yet been able to meet with the family of our pedestrian victim prior to this filing, but we will meet soon with that victim's family. We extend our condolences to both grieving families and the police department. We are grateful for the pace of the police department's investigative work that allowed us to file these charges so quickly."

KANSAS CITY —A Kansas City police officer, his K-9 partner and a pedestrian died in a crash Wednesday night.

MANHATTAN, KAN. –&nbsp;Manhattan High School West Campus was cleared around 4:40 p.m. this afternoon after a graffiti message that was found in a school bathroom circulated over Snapchat causing the school to go on lockdown. The message was perceived as a threat to a planned pep rally.

Shortly before 2:00 p.m. this afternoon, our School Resource Officer at the school and the principal were made aware of the message being amplified over the social media platform. School officials quickly put the school on lockdown and multiple officers responded to investigate the situation.

The officers quickly determined the message was not credible and the students were not in any danger. It was decided that the building would be evacuated room by room by officers to ensure the safety of all students and staff.

The building was cleared and officers began leaving the area around 4:40 p.m.

We are still investigating the origins of the message, but don’t believe there is any threat to the school.

Wanted Kansas theft suspect captured

KANSAS CITY (AP) —An officer who made the arrest in a notorious quintuple homicide nearly a decade ago, his police dog and a pedestrian were all killed when a driver crashed into the officer's cruiser, authorities in Missouri said.

Kansas City police said the crash happened Wednesday night as Officer James Muhlbauer was on patrol. The driver who struck the cruiser suffered minor injuries and was taken into custody.

The pedestrian, identified only as a man in his 50s, died at the scene, as did the officer’s dog, Champ. Muhlbauer was rushed to a hospital where he later died.

Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said officers are investigating the cause of the crash, including whether alcohol was involved. She said there is no indication that the officer was at fault.

Graves said that officers from another department brought Champ’s remains to the hospital so the two partners could be reunited for what she described as their “heroes’ escort.”

“You live with your dog, your partner, your family lives with your partner,” she said. “You go to work every day. You train every day. You literally eat, sleep and live with your partner. They’re more than just a dog. They are truly the best partners they can have.”

Police said Muhlbauer, who was married and a father, was a 20-year veteran of the force. Graves asked for prayers for Muhlbauer's family and said that officers are “shaken” and “hurting.”

In 2014, Muhlbauer “heroically” arrested&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/f780e78dd98041049c76a5f62874a5ce">Brandon Howell</a>&nbsp;after Howell killed five people in a quiet cul-de-sac when his attempt to steal a classic Jaguar went awry, said Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker. Howell, who previously was acquitted in the killings of two Kansas teens, is serving multiple life terms, with no chance of parole, in the quintuple homicide.

Mayor Quinton Lucas noted that the deadly crash came just days after another officer was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-philadelphia-eagles-nfl-super-bowl-f4d255a4516ec2beeee6fd11d0403ee8">hit by gunfire</a>&nbsp;and wounded at the department’s headquarters shortly after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. It also followed a tiring day in which the city’s officers oversaw a parade to celebrate the victory.

“We all grieve with the Kansas City Police Department, the women and men of the department,” Lucas said. “We grieve certainly with the officer’s family.”

GREAT BEND — Twenty-plus 
years have passed since two women were murdered inside the Dolly Madison
 Bakery at one of the busiest intersections in Great Bend. Last 
September, just two days after the 20-year anniversary of the homicide, 
the Kansas Bureau of Investigation announced new DNA had been found in 
the case. Beyond that, the case has remained cold. That has long 
troubled Great Bend High School graduate Aaron Mull, who recently 
completed his documentary about the case. Mull is ready to share that 
story at a special question-and-answer screening of his documentary on 
March 2 at the Crest Theater.

The trailer for The Dolly Madison Murders

"I started this, basically, to just try and shed light on this case 
I'd always known growing up," Mull said. "I remember seeing the 
composite sketch all over town. As I've gotten older, I questioned why 
this story hasn't really reached a larger audience. I thought maybe I 
could do that and set off to make it on my own."

The standard 
full-time work week consists of 2,080 hours. Mull estimates he spent 
some 600 hours on editing the documentary alone. Now living on the east 
coast, Mull estimates he spent just shy of $13,000 on the project. At 
one point, he pondered his efforts and how he could have nearly doubled 
the $17,000 reward offered for information leading to an arrest in the 
case.

"I knew it was going to cost quite a bit of money," he said. "I don't
 live in Great Bend anymore, and just flying back five times throughout 
the year was pretty costly, and the gear rentals, licensing music and 
footage and things like that. It was definitely something I knew was 
going to be a cost going into it. I was willing to eat that cost for a 
project I knew would mean something."

Mull made small videos as a 
student at GBHS, gaining national attention from one early project. 
After graduating, he worked for professional soccer team Sporting KC, 
then worked with the likes of famous chef Gordon Ramsay and Chiefs 
quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mull has built an audience of 31,000 
subscribers on his YouTube channel.

Approaching the 20thth anniversary of the Dolly Madison case in 
September 2021, Mull realized he had time to tackle a much larger, more 
meaningful project. He met with key players in the case, including 
friends and family members of the victims, past and present members of 
law enforcement, and local media members.

"There's only so much to
 go off of with this story because there's so little out there and 
that's known to the public," he said. "My biggest goal was to talk to 
the people closest to the story, friends of the victims, family members 
of the victims. Giving them a voice was important after all these years 
of feeling like they weren’t being heard."

Mull wrapped up filming
 in June 2022, but did make a special trip back to Great Bend for the 
KBI's press conference regarding the case on Sept. 6, 2022. He wrapped 
up editing in December and secured a distributor of the documentary, 
which features the interviews, as well as reenactments from locations 
pertinent to the case. The case may not have a conclusion, but Mull's 
documentary does.

Great Bend Community Coordinator Christina Hayes helped Mull secure 
the Crest Theater for his screening on Thursday, March 2 at 7 p.m. He 
plans to sell approximately 200 tickets for the first screening, and if 
interest dictates, opening the screening for a second showing the 
following evening. Following the documentary, Mull and other parties 
from the documentary will take questions from the crowd.

Tickets for the screening are $10 in advance and may be purchased by <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-dolly-madison-murders-documentary-screening-tickets-533792205857?fbclid=IwAR1x9chWNxqAsKVvsg7c_lPABXdv0yiqM6cUVnH3d3jgOWQ9q2bluqerN2o">CLICKING HERE</a>.

MANHATTAN—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect in connection with an incident involving schools in USD 383 Manhattan.

Just after 7:30a.m. Thursday, police were called to Susan B. Anthony Middle School, 2501 Browning Ave. in Manhattan, for the report of a suspicious man in the building during the arrival time of students, according to a media release from the Riley County Police Department.

This person was stopped by school staff, directed to the office, was asked to leave the school and refused. 

Ultimately, the school staff did the right thing and called police to come and investigate this person.  During this time, students were held in their classrooms until the situation was resolved. 

Before officers arrived at the school, the man ended up leaving the building and driving away. 

He was found a short time later in the parking lot of University Christian Church, 2800 Claflin Road in Manhattan, which also operates as a preschool. 

The man made comments to officers that he was searching for his father. During this time, the man was respectful and cordial. At the request of the USD 383 Superintendent, the man was prohibited from going into all USD 383 property and or attending activities. 



Around 9:30 a.m., police were called to Amanda Arnold Elementary School, 1435 Hudson Avenue in Manhattan. The school staff reported the man was at the school. Officers quickly arrived and arrested Samuel Osenga, 22, of Manhattan without incident for criminal trespass. 

Osenga was not in possession of any weapons at the time of his arrest and police have no reason to believe he had any intention of harming students at any school.


The RCPD said they want to emphasize that if officers believe there is a threat at any of the schools, "we will respond as quickly as possible and parents will be notified."&nbsp; 

"We continue to have a strong working relationship with all of our schools and their staff, and appreciate their cooperation in any investigations or incidents that occur. The safety of our community's children is and will remain a top priority at RCPD."
