Sheriff: Couple arrested after Kan. Turnpike motorcycle chase

KHIMKI, Russia (AP) — A lawyer for WNBA star Brittney Griner at her drug possession trial in Russia on Friday gave the court a U.S. doctor's letter recommending she use medical cannabis to treat pain.

Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and standout for the Phoenix Mercury, was arrested at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in February after customs officials said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of transporting drugs.

In court last week, Griner pleaded guilty and acknowledged possessing the canisters but said she had no criminal intent and said they were in her luggage because she packed hastily in her return to Russia to play for the UMMC Ekaterinburg basketball team during the WNBA's offseason.

In Russia’s judicial system, admitting guilt doesn’t automatically end a trial. Since that plea, her court sessions have focused on in-person and written testimony to her good character and athletic prowess.

Griner wore a Nirvana T-shirt as she sat inside the defendant's cage that is customary in Russian courtrooms. At one point, she held up a photo of fellow WNBA players wearing her name and No. 42 on their uniforms in tribute during part of Sunday's All-Star Game in Chicago.

“The attending physician gave Brittney recommendations for the use of medical cannabis," said her lawyer, Maria Blagovolina. "The permission was issued on behalf of the Arizona Department of Health.”

Medical marijuana is not legal in Russia.

The defense on Friday also submitted tests she underwent as part of an anti-doping check, which didn't detect any prohibited substances in her system.

The next hearing of Griner's case was scheduled for July 26.

U.S. President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have said they are doing all they could to win her release, as well as that of other Americans the U.S. considers “wrongly detained” by Russia, including former Marine Paul Whelan who is serving 16 years on an espionage conviction.

Washington may have little leverage with Moscow, though, because of strong animosity over its military operation in Ukraine.

“In the hearings yesterday and today what became very clear is the tremendous amount of respect and admiration both in the United States and here in Russia where Miss Griner has been playing basketball for seven years, not only for her professional achievements but for her character and integrity,” U.S. Embassy charge d'affaires Elizabeth Rood said outside the courthouse in the Moscow suburb of Khimki, where the airport is located.

The director and team captain of UMMC Ektaerinburg testified on her behalf on Thursday.

Russian media have speculated that Griner could be swapped for Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, nicknamed “the Merchant of Death,” who is serving a 25-year sentence in the U.S. after being convicted of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and providing aid to a terrorist organization.

Russia has agitated for Bout’s release for years. But the wide discrepancy in the seriousness of their cases could make such a trade unpalatable to Washington. Others have suggested that Griner could be traded along with Whelan, who is serving 16 years in Russia on an espionage conviction that the U.S. has described as a setup.

The State Department’s designation of Griner as wrongfully detained moves her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator. The classification has irritated Russia.

Asked about the possibility of Griner being swapped for a Russian jailed in the U.S., Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, the senior Russian diplomat, has noted that until her trial is over “there are no formal or procedural reasons to talk about any further steps.”

Ryabkov warned that U.S. criticism, including the description of Griner as wrongfully detained and dismissive comments about the Russian judicial system, “makes it difficult to engage in detailed discussion of any possible exchanges.”

Griner’s detention has been authorized through Dec. 20, suggesting the trial could last months. Griner’s lawyers, however, said they expect it to conclude around the beginning of August.

Suspect charged in connection with Kan. double murder

KANSAS CITY (AP) — An intoxicated pilot was arrested after landing a small aircraft early Friday on Interstate 70 southeast of Kansas City after radioing that he had run out of fuel, authorities said.

The landing about 2:30 a.m. east of Grain Valley, roughly 20 miles southeast of Kansas City, closed westbound lanes of the highway for more than 2 1/2 hours, KCTV reported.

The plane had a “minor collision” with a guardrail but otherwise didn't hit anything, the&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/MSHPTrooperA/status/1547911523166629888">Missouri State Highway Patrol</a>&nbsp;tweeted.

The pilot was the only person on board. He suffered minor injuries and was taken to an area hospital for treatment after his arrest, the patrol said. Online arrest records identify the pilot 35-year-old John T. Seesing of Prairie Village. 

Seesing was arrested on requested charges of DWI, felony possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Online records showed that the single-engine plane was 19 minutes into its flight from Warrensburg, Missouri, which is located about 20 miles&nbsp; southeast of the landing site.

The patrol said the pilot radioed that he had run out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing on the highway.

KBI: 54-year old Kansas woman accused of selling meth

By LESLIE EIKLEBERRY Salina Post

SALINE —A Kansas man was arrested after a woman's car was burgled early Wednesday morning in north Salina.

The 38-year-old woman told police that at approximately 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, she had gotten into a verbal argument with a man she knew only as "Greg" in a parking lot near the 100 block of N. Wisconsin Street in Salina.

Cameron said that as she was leaving town a bit later, she realized that her Gold Smoke vape pen was missing from her Honda Civic, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

A check of her car revealed that a Razer laptop and a Bluetooth device also were missing. Total loss was estimated at $2,385. Cameron told police that she inadvertently left the car unlocked.

Forrester said a neighbor had surveillance video showing a man entering Cameron's car. An officer was able to identify the man as Gregory Dyrness, 29, of Salina.

Police located Dyrness at his apartment in the 100 block of N. Wisconsin Street and arrested him on a requested charge of vehicle burglary, Forrester said.

Police: Surveillance video helps catch Kan. car burglary suspect

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A hearing is set for Thursday for the man arrested for hitting four members of a Nickerson family, killing one and critically injuring two others.

Court records show 33-year-old Michael Hurley is set to appear in district court at 12 p.m. CDT on four counts of aggravated assault, and one count each of driving impared and no drivers license. One of the aggravated assault charges will likely be amended to a charge of murder.

Hurley hit Nickerson school teacher and coach Trey Jones, his wife, current Assistant Superintendent Amy Jones and their two children who were standing on the sidewalk. Trey died last week of his injuries while both Ava and Amy were in critical condition. Another child was not seriously injured.

There is still some question on how this case will move through the Kentucky legal system. If Hurley is charged with murder, it will likely be heard in what is called commonwealth court which is a higher court in the state that handles serious felony cases. What happens to the other potential charges would be taken up then.

The count of murder was expected to be filed before Hurley's Thursday hearing.&nbsp;

Suspect in fatal crash involving Kan. family due back in court

By SCOTT CARLSON North Platte Post

KEARNEY, Neb.-A former candidate for the United States Senate was arrested during the Nebraska GOP Convention in Kearney.

According to Kearney police, at around 10:55 a.m., on July 9, officers responded to a disturbance at the Younes Conference Center, 416 Talmadge Street.

Officers arrived and made contact with private security officers who were providing security for the event.

Security personnel informed officers that a man identified as Matthew Innis, 51, of Crete, had been previously barred from attending the event. Police said Innis approached the main entrance to the convention center and demanded entry.

Police said when he was refused entrance, Innis tackled a security officer to the ground, and off-duty police officers and other security personnel came to assist.&nbsp;

Following further investigation, police determined there was probable cause to arrest Innis on suspicion of 3rd-degree assault and 2nd-degree trespassing, both misdemeanors.

Innis was transported to the Buffalo County Detention Center where he was processed and released after posting bond. The case has been referred to the Buffalo County Attorney for the filing of formal charges.

Innis unsuccessfully ran for the United States Senate in 2020.
