Television station sued over report about KC women duped into sex

Antoine- Mo. Dept. of Corrections

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri couple is suing a television station over its coverage of a man charged with duping dozens of women into having sex with him on camera by telling them they were rehearsing for roles in pornographic movies.

The Kansas City Star reports that the lawsuit filed Monday says KSHB-TV used archive footage of Chyleina and Cory Herron when Mario Ambrose Antoine was charged last year in the porn fraud case. They had been interviewed in 2012 about a financial fraud case involving Antoine.

The suit says the old footage falsely made it appear they were involved in the porn fraud case, which culminated in Antoine pleading guilty to wire fraud.

David Giles, an attorney for KSHB-TV parent company E.W. Scripps, says the company doesn’t comment on ongoing litigation.

New Chiefs linebacker Ragland could fit into mix soon

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Former Alabama standout Reggie Ragland reported to the Chiefs but was not on the practice field Tuesday, one day after the Buffalo Bills shipped the linebacker to Kansas City for a fourth-round draft pick.

Ragland was injured all of last season and had fallen out of favor in Buffalo, which is in the midst of switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense. The Chiefs play a 3-4 similar to what the Bills ran with Rex Ryan when they chose Ragland in the second round of the 2016 draft.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid would not say when he expects Ragland to make it on the field. The Chiefs play their preseason finale Thursday night against Tennessee.

Reid did say that kicker Cairo Santos, who has missed most of training camp with a groin injury, could try field goals against the Titans. But backup Sam Ficken would continue to handle kickoffs.

Paxton’s Blessing Box at 1212 Baker in Great Bend.

A new red box went up in Great Bend, but this one does not dispense movies and games.

Paxton’s Blessing Box started in Wichita for a way to provide food items and supplies free of charge to anyone that needs them. The box is stationed at 1212 Baker Avenue in Great Bend and allows anyone to come by and take items they need with no questions asked.

Sherri Staab decided to install the box after seeing the idea spread from Wichita.

The box if filled with non-perishable food, toiletry needs, and other common household items. Staab says the box is available any time for people to access and plans to keep it in their yard for a long time.

Staab’s family helps restock the box with items, but encourages anyone that wants to donate anything for the box to drop them off at the box or on their porch.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita mother is hoping someone will return a bag with medical equipment designed especially for her toddler daughter.

Rachel Butler says someone broke into her car this weekend while it was parked near Old Towne and took the vital equipment. Butler’s 2-year-old daughter, Ava, has Moebius Syndrome, which causes her facial muscles to freeze. KAKE-TV reports that requires her to eat special food, usually with a tube. She also has a deformed foot, which requires a special shoe for her to walk.

All that equipment was in the bag stolen from Butler’s car.

Butler says there were no signs of the bag in the area and surveillance cameras weren’t aimed at her vehicle.

She’s working with insurance companies to determine how to replace the equipment.

UPDATE: Police identify suspect in fatal Kansas officer involved shooting

MCPHERSON COUNTY—  The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is in charge of investigating a Monday night fatal officer involved shooting in McPherson County. On Tuesday, police identified the man who died as 24-year-old William Matt Holmes, 24, Newton.  A passenger in the vehicle was arrested at the scene.

Just after 10:30p.m. Monday, Newton Police officers attempted to stop a vehicle reported to have been involved with a car burglary. The vehicle fled the scene and led officers on a high-speed chase north on Interstate 135. Speeds during the chase reached over 100-mles per hour, according to police.

After running over stop sticks, the vehicle came to a stop in the median near mile marker 51.

The occupants of the vehicle refused to exit for several minutes, and then when the driver came out, he became combative.

Officers expended every less lethal option, trying bean bag rounds, a Taser, and even a K-9, but those efforts were unsuccessful. When the driver tried to harm the K-9, an officer attempted to physically subdue him.

During the altercation, the driver got ahold of the officer’s gun and tried to pull it away from the officer. The Newton officer told other officers and asked for help. A McPherson County Deputy saw the driver trying to take the gun and felt compelled to use lethal force to protect our officer’s life.

First aid was immediately rendered and the Holmes was transported to a hospital where he died.

Both officers involved were treated for injuries sustained and are in good condition.
